Trending
Grade: 9.5/10
This was an incredible segment, with the war of words between Styles and Cena here increasing the hype for their title match at the Rumble.
AJ’s heel promo here was fantastic, as he ran down Cena for getting a title shot in the first place, and for his part-timer status. Comparing Cena to the Rock was great, and Styles managed to draw boos from the crowd, which he often is unable to do.
Cena also cut a wonderful promo here, adding some more edge to his character with some harsh words for AJ. Cena talking about his passion for the business was also great, with the fans in attendance getting behind him with cheers and chants.
Baron Corbin making his presence known here was excellent, as he shouldn’t be complacent with where he is on the card. He should be looking to take down the top dogs, who are Cena and Styles in this case. Having Corbin enter the Rumble was wise, as he can now focus on winning the Rumble if a feud doesn’t come to fruition.
Corbin and Cena getting into a heated exchange was stellar, as it led to a match for next week’s show, and Styles getting a cheap shot on Cena added to their animosity. Overall, an outstanding segment which saw Styles and Cena cut excellent promos, as their feud is heating up heading into the Rumble.
