10 Best Pipebombs In Wrestling History
10. John Cena - 28 August 2017
When thinking back on wrestlers who have dropped pipe bombs on the WWE Universe, John Cena might not be one of the first names to come to mind. Despite a career that has relied heavily on towing the company line and PG promos, the 16-time world champion has had more than a few moments on the mic that have left fans with their jaws open. After having a similar exchange with The Rock years prior, Cena knocked Roman Reigns down a peg ahead of their match at No Mercy 2017.
Big Match John proved why he is one of the best in the world on the mic, absolutely dominating The Big Dog in their first legitimate promo. Telling Reigns the only reason Cena was still in WWE was because Roman could not do his job, the one-time Master of Thuganomics called Reigns a cheap John Cena knock-off that the fans would not accept.
While the truth behind everything Cena was saying left fans wanting to see more between the two, the most talked about moment was as the promo was coming to an end. With Roman struggling to remember his lines, Cena said, "It's called a promo. If you wanna be the Big Dog, you’re gonna have to learn how to do it. See ya, fourth wall!"
Though it was clear that Reigns still had a long way to go in terms of improving, Cena's ability to verbally destroy the man pegged to replace him as WWE's top star was a startling moment.
