A spiteful and predictable piece of sh*t that found WWE almost gleefully stewing in its own juices, John Cena's destruction of John Laurinaitis was charmless fun that wasn't really his to have. Unfortunately, the GM's natural rival CM Punk was way too busy having an absolute banger with Daniel Bryan to concern himself with this.

The rub here was that no WWE Superstar could interfere on the overmatched idiot's behalf, though the rather convenient firing of The Big Show left a seven foot "surprise" in no doubt. Not that the audience were spared the 17 minutes the slaughter took up before the big reveal late in the day.

Obnoxious to a teeth-gnashing degree, Cena played not to the crowd in attendance but to the hyenas on the announce desk that clearly enjoyed watching their irritating colleague take a sh*tkicking. Or were told to if Vince McMahon happened to be popping half to death at ringside.
