John Cena has a friend who can help him beat Randy Orton one last time
If you watched John Cena against Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41, you know that Cena lost a few steps in the ring as she approaches her retirement at the end of this year. It didn’t matter to ‘mania because Cody Rhodes is a giant idiot and The rock Travis Scott was on site to help Cena win.
Unfortunately for Cena, Travis Scott was not there for construction. Cena had to manage by himself each time he presents himself on Raw or Smackdown, and that resulted in Randy Orton demeaning him each time with a RKO Outta nowhere.
The Cena heel is a shallow act which is still a little zero. He throws fans as losers and says he is going to kill their childhood when he beats Orton tonight. He says that Randy is lying to himself, and the only legend that Orton will kill in the back of which is himself. Orton is a mockery of what a WWE star means; He will be a failure during the counterpoup, as is his 2006 drug screening test.
These words and verbal attacks do not really mean much, especially when each segment ends with John Cena lying on his back, thanks to a RKO. The old man Cena no longer has what it takes to beat Orton by himself. But that should not be a problem during the development, because this type is there:
R-Truth is probably the biggest supporter of the heel John Cena on the WWE list, and he is entirely adhered to Cena’s Shtick about being the last real champion. The truth has even crossed with his childhood hero and said he called him if he never needs help. Well, Cena definitely needs help gaining, so tonight could be Truth time to shine.
What sly program does John Cena offer to cheat Randy Orton to win the WWE championship in his hometown, and will R-Truth play an essential role in this strategy? Connect to the backlash to discover it.
The rest of the card
Here are the four remaining segments that are currently announced for Backlash::
Lyra Valkyria (C) against Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
The man returned to WWE in Wrestlemania 41 and won the women’s team championship with Valkyria. But they immediately lost the belts on crude after Wrestlemania, and Lynch replied by turning the heel and leaving Lyra. Becky has since admitted that she was she who attacked Bayley and forced her to miss Wrestlemania. Will Bayley come back tonight to reimburse Becky when she challenges Lyra’s belt?
Jacob Fatu (C) against the Knight against Damian Priest against Drew McIntyre for the United States Championship
Fatu likes to say that it is all the gas, no brakes, and that’s exactly what this match should be. None of these guys love each other and they all want to win Jacob’s belt, so it should be a quick fight with a lot of impactful action.
Drew McIntyre fucked up a little because he beat Priest in Wrestlemania, then beat Knight (by DQ) to become a number one candidate for the American title. However, the managing director Nick Aldis has always thrown these two Chumps into the match for the title of Drew here. In fact, Aldis initially reserved it as a 3 -way title match of which Drew was not even a part, until Solo Sikoa questioned this logic. This is an example of the way Solo made Jacob’s life more difficult by opening his mouth. There is a chance for Sikoa to kiss things for Jacob tonight because Solo clearly wants to interfere, but Fatu does not seem so receptive for help.
Pat McAfee against Gunther
Gunther is frustrated to have lost the world heavyweight championship in Wrestlemania, and he tried to remove these frustrations from Michael Cole. Pat McAfee was fortunately there to save Cole’s ass, but it led the general by stifling Pat instead. McAfee then asked for a match with Gunther, and was made official during the counter coupling.
McAfee has not fought over more than 10 minutes in almost three years, so it is not clear what to expect when they lock. He thinks that some people have forgotten who in hell, and he will win because Gunther is sweet and underestimates his skills. I guess we will see if it is true when the bell rings the reaction tonight. If Pat has a chance to win, it is probably because Goldberg is looming in the background in the background as a person who could stick his nose in Gunther’s affairs sooner than late.
Penta against Dominik Mysterio for the intercontinental championship
Penta had the chance to win the intercontinental title in a 4 -lane match in Wrestlemania, but Dirty Dom pinned his stable Madery Finn Balor to win gold. Penta then had a tête-à-tête match with Mysterio on The Raw after Wrestlemania, but JD McDonagh returned to WWE to screw it. Penta will try once again to win the IC belt tonight in Backlash. He will need a certain dissension between Dominik and Finn to win, a decisive pass from his brother Rey Fenix to neutralize the game of figures of the day of the judgment.
Summary
Randy Orton was always going to appear in the main event of Backlash due to the program that takes place in his hometown of Saint-Louis, and I hope that the energy of the crowd will be sufficient to improve her last match with Cena that the previous release of John in Wrestlemania. The presence of Pat McAfee on this card also stands out, and there is a lot of uncertainty about his performance against a better worker like Gunther. Becky Lynch also has something to prove, because she has not fought on a single game since last May. Finally, the defense of the FAU 4 -way title is the kind of fight that could steal the show if some of the higher profile matches on the map are not up to the media threw.
What will you look for Backlash?
