This was super-easy to sleep on.

Roman Reigns had Finn locked in a choke when the crowd started bellowing, "Cena! Cena! Cena!" at the top of their lungs. Roaring (but not loud enough to offset the volume inside that arena), Reigns yelled, "Ain't no f'n Cena".

He was right - JC didn't show up, at least not on camera. Cena did, however, work a six-man tag dark match main event for the fans in Tampa. They saw him team with Rey and Dominik Mysterio to beat Roman and The Usos before toddling home.

This was more majestic heel work from Reigns.
