3. His Backstage Power Is Now Apparent In The Ring
As the biggest star WWEs had for a decade, Cenas backstage stroke is huge. Unfortunately, recent years have seen that power find its way into promos and even whole wrestling angles. The Authority sneer right over everyone else, but act as though theyre intimidated by Cena. Vince McMahon gets a nervous look in his eyes, stammers and even does his trademark scared gulp when Cena chooses to berate him. Hes capable of making and changing the finish of matches on his own initiative: being placed into number one contender slots immediately upon return from injury; forming his own team of top superstars to take out an opponents stable; getting a title shot out of nowhere against an exhausted Rey Mysterio at the end of the night; the list goes on and on. Now, as well as placing himself as WWEs moral compass (but only when he feels like it), hes started describing himself as the gatekeeper of the main event. Literally, on television, hes telling other talent that they have to go through him to make it further in the company. Its like a redneck daddy telling his teenage son to take a swing at him, be a man. When an indestructible Pokemon is the secret power behind the WWE, no one has a chance.
