John Cena giving Becky Lynch this kind of endorsement is a clear indicator that everyone realizes how big of a star she is and might yet still become. Lynch declared that she wasn't only gunning to replace Charlotte's picture on the advertisements, but she was coming for the spot John Cena occupied as the face of the company.

It was the kind of audacity that we've come to expect from Becky Lynch since SummerSlam.

The two squared off against Andrade "Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega in a mixed tag team match. Almas got to look good in showing all that he can do against John Cena. However, the match was all about building to Lynch getting back in the ring and tapping Vega out.

Afterwards, Becky Lynch gave John Cena his old "you can't see me" taunt.

It was a nice segment with Cena doing his best to give a rub to a fast-rising star.
