John Cena continued to second-guess his heel flip throughout his profitable WWE Championship defence towards CM Punk at Evening Of Champions.
Cena and Punk clashed for what was presumably the ultimate time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. John primarily turned babyface for a portion of the match when he joined forces with Punk to foil the specter of Cash In The Financial institution holder Seth Rollins and his associates, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Even earlier than the group’s look in direction of the tip of the bout, Cena declined to hit Punk with the championship belt, seemingly listening to the pleas of the group for him to not cheat. As soon as Rollins, Breakker and Reed made their presence identified, Cena and Punk banded collectively to combat them off.
John Cena (Briefly) Turned Babyface at WWE Evening of Champions
The 17-time champion will not be a heel for an excessive amount of longer
At one level, Rollins referred to as for a referee to return all the way down to the ring, which might have allowed him to money in his briefcase and switch the principle occasion right into a Triple Risk match. Seth believed he might simply pin Punk straightaway, as Cena seemed to be incapacitated on the skin. Nevertheless, simply as official Charles Robinson was about to make his approach into the ring, Cena hit him with a flying sort out from nowhere – a lot to the delight of the group.
Cena and Rollins then had an intense face-off, the place the reigning champion embodied each little bit of the ‘Hustle, Loyalty and Respect’ character that he portrayed for many years earlier than turning heel. It is now been revealed precisely what was mentioned between them.
Because the pair met within the centre of the ring, Rollins screamed: “You had been lifeless three seconds in the past,” blaming Cena for stopping his cash-in.
John responded defiantly: “I am alive now!”
“This has nothing to do with you,” countered Seth – earlier than Cena roared:
“This has EVERYTHING to do with me!”
Naturally, Cena would wish to defend his title, however he was a complete babyface through the alternate. He would revert to his heel persona earlier than the tip of the competition, although.
Simply when followers regarded like they had been going to see a feel-good second of Cena and Punk embracing, the champion kicked his challenger within the groin. Rollins then reappeared and hit Punk with a Stomp, permitting Cena to steal the pin to retain the gold.
With Cody Rhodes defeating Randy Orton to develop into King Of The Ring earlier within the night time, Cena and Cody will collide at SummerSlam in August. Whereas John will nearly definitely stay a heel for that match, it will not be lengthy till he’s a fully-fledged babyface as soon as once more.
