10 Worst WWE Raw Main Events Ever

10. John Cena Vs. David Otunga & John Laurinaitis - 18 June 2012

Get ready for a lot of John Cena, although you can't lay the blame entirely at the feet of Big Match John. He just got paired with dolt after dolt after dolt, that's all.

2012 John Laurinaitis wasn't quite the Johnny Ace that made his name in Japan, either. And David Otunga? Well, he was David Otunga. A fine character, not a bad talker, but a tremendously bad wrestler.

Take those three ingredients and smash them together in the middle of 2012 and you are always going to get a somewhat rotten sandwich. Otunga did very little, putting together a plodding controlling sequence before walking out on Laurinaitis, the final nail in the coffin of People Power.

What followed was a few minutes of Cena putting the boots to Johnny, supposedly the cathartic release that the WWE Universe had longed for after months of Laurinaitis abusing his power. This is all fine on paper, but the reality was very different; nobody really wanted to see Cena in this position either. This wretched storyline had pushed the hot feud between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan into the semi-main spot, another log on the fire that eventually saw Punk walk out the door.

The match was terrible, the story was worse, the supposed payoff was a damp squib. Thumbs down, all round.
