10 Things John Cena STILL Can’t Actually Do

4. Sell Defeat, Believably

Another Cena trope that has infuriatingly bled over to most of the main roster, 'Big Match John's propensity for blowing off big match losses became the norm and served as a reminder to fans that - regardless of what they thought - nothing f*cking mattered.

Only, this is not the case, and never ever should be.

Ronda Rousey - absolutely livid at Alexa Bliss' intrusion into her Women's Title match one night prior - stormed out on the post-Money In The Bank Raw to smash the living sh*t out of the new Champion. This was tangible, believable fury because her job is to portray somebody who wants to win and never lose. Like...every...wrestler?

In contrast over on SmackDown Live!, Asuka decked James Ellsworth then succumbed to another superkick from Carmella. There are several reasons why 'The Empress Of Tomorrow' is yesterday's news compared to the 'Rowdy' former UFC Champion, but this disconnect remains key, and John Cena's hypocritical and borderline schizophrenic nihilism can be pinpointed as the moment the wind changed for most of the WWE's trapped midcard.

How much a wrestler wins will ultimately determine how willing fans will be to follow their success. How much a wrestler cares determines how much fans are prepared to invest.
