6 Reasons Last Night's WWE Raw Made You Change The Channel
6. Cena Threatens Legal Action
This one falls squarely on the shoulders of whomever wrote that segment. You have John Cena, two weeks earlier beaten from pillar to post, his championship ripped away from him. Then last week, he vows to not just beat Brock Lesnar, but to beat him up. He then shows his determination by demolishing the Wyatt Family. So how did Cena respond Monday when Triple H told him that he might not get his automatic rematch at Night of Champions? Does he threaten to kick the COOs teeth down his throat? Does he demand his match or he will make Hunters life difficult? No, he threatens to sue Triple H. And Cena doesnt just whip out an Ill sue you for everything youve got line, he adds on that hell become COO himself and then make his first act to fire Triple H (complete with Vince McMahon impersonation). What in the hell kind of hero does and says that? Its so far out of character for Cena that it had to cause some fans to stop dead in their tracks and wonder why the guy whose back is against the wall isnt coming out swinging for his title shot and is instead dangling legal action to get his title shot. WWE has to realize that the legal action angle never resonates with fans. Who is going to rally behind that guy and cheer, Yeah, hes gonna sue your ass!
