6 Ups & 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Feb 4)

5. The Best Of All Time?

WWE

John Cena's bombastic quotable notable about Brock Lesnar informed much of the discussion around Ricochet's upcoming Super ShowDown WWE Championship match against 'The Beast'.

'The Champ' went all in on his take about Brock being the best ever, but the panel didn't rush to disagree. Speaking both as wrestlers and fans, Christian, Ember Moon and Booker T all backed up Cena's key point and the compliments were hard to contradict.

Lesnar's drawing power might have diminished somewhat from his 2012 return, but his aura remains as in tact as his closeness with the cold, weathered heart of Vince McMahon. It's the sort of debate that rages a lot at this time of year, but then of course it would - it's WWE's busiest period.
