On Monday night, WWE Raw celebrated 20 years of John Cena. 20 years since Cena made his debut for the promotion. It dominated most of the show with former and current WWE stars, including Vince McMahon, paying tribute to the legendary wrestler.
Amid multiple video packages and highlights of his storied career, Cena was also disrespected by Austin Theory while he chatted with Ezekiel. As Cena advised Ezekiel not to forget who he was, Theory interrupted and said his own success as a 24-year-old was more than what Cena had achieved in 20 years in the business. Not paying heed to this bait, Cena walked off leaving Theory fuming.
Later in the show, McMahon introduced Cena to the ring and he walked past a row of WWE locker room members standing up and applauding him.
In a fairly long promo, Cena talked about how the WWE fans have made him a better person and that nothing he does is just about him, “it’s about us.”
Theory wasn’t part of the group of WWE wrestlers who gave Cena an ovation which suggests a match could be on the cards between the two.
That’s what WE needed and that’s what HE needed. Just a moment between John Cena and his WWE family. A night of fun segments, videos of memories, and a good ass time. A SOLD OUT crowd just showing love to a guy who has busted his ass to earn it. pic.twitter.com/BElhx2E2FB
