10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 24)

Roman Reigns is brilliant, isn't he?

Wait, that's not how it's supposed to go. Any writer worth their salt is supposed to castigate Roman for being wrestling's biggest devil and lambast WWE for trying to push him down our throats every week. There's no fun in believing that Reigns is the decent sort who cares what people think, and the same goes for Vince McMahon.

Find out juicy details about a private conversation between McMahon and Reigns that changed the latter's life in this week's article. It turns out old Vinnie Mac isn't only there to bleed his superstars dry and laugh maniacally as he counts his money. No, there's a human side.

Joining McMahon-related decency are facts about everyone from Braun Strowman and John Cena to Jeff Jarrett and Cesaro. What went wrong during Braun's musical segment on Raw? Which stat did Cena break on Monday? When did Jarrett find out about the HOF? Who did Cesaro really dedicate his Sharpshooter to?

It's all here...

10. Raw's Gauntlet Marked John Cena's First Clean Loss In Eight Years

You read that right: eight years.

It's actually slightly over eight. Cena's last clean loss on Monday Night Raw came at the hands of Triple H on the 19 October 2009 episode. Now, Seth Rollins can add his name to the (short) list of folks who have beaten John cleanly on WWE's flagship show; since 2007, only Seth, Trips, Big Show and Shawn Michaels have done so.

Things get better when analysing Cena's record across other shows like SmackDown, Saturday Night's Main Event and pay-per-view. Since '07, he has only stared at the lights 16 times without any interference or outside shenanigans. That's pretty insane when recalling that he's wrestled hundreds of matches on Raw alone.

WWE can't exactly shout from the rooftops about clean losses, but they can point to Seth's win as monumental because it came against a man who is so rarely pinned. Hopefully, they make a bigger deal out of this stat than they have since Monday.
