Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring John Cena and Seth Rollins.
• John Cena Reveals Why He Doesn’t Have Kids
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena kicked off tonight’s SmackDown after WrestleMania 41 and called the ring announcer to the ring once again, just like he did on RAW. Per Cena’s instructions, the ring announcer introduced him as the greatest of all time. Cena was about to speak, but Randy Orton came out to a huge pop. Randy said he and John first shook hands 25 years ago. Randy said Cena has been the same guy, until he changed a few weeks ago. Orton said generations of children looked up to Cena, surely that meant something to him. Randy said:
“Take it from me, John. You need to have some damn kids. You need to become a father, man. It’ll make you a better human being.”
Cena said “how dare you?” and called out Orton for parent-shaming him. Cena said the real reason he doesn’t have kids is because he spent the last 25 years raising ‘yours’ (referring to fans). Cena said to a fan:
“That’s right, kid. Your dad’s a loser.”
Cena then said a 6-year-old kid just gave him a finger, classy. Cena then ripped that kid even further. Cena told the kid to not bring a knife to a gun fight: “bet your loser father didn’t teach you that!”.
Randy said WWE gave Cena everything he has, but now he’s just a guest. Cena said he’s now an outcast just because he gave his time to something outside of WWE. That is a dysfunctional relationship and it doesn’t work anymore. Orton said wrestling has given him everything and Cena isn’t going to ruin wrestling, not over his dead body. Cena said he will retire with the WWE Championship and Randy will remain stuck at 14 World Titles, because when WWE creates a fake title to replace his title, Randy’s title count will go down to 0. Cena said he will erase 3 generations of Orton’s family. Orton challenged Cena to a championship match right now, and Cena just said no. Cena said he’s doing it to save Orton’s a$$. Cena said this match should happen, but not here tonight – it should happen at Backlash because it’s in St. Louis, because Randy is from there and Orton can spend the whole day with his family. Cena said he wants Orton at his best and when Orton loses at Backlash, he will have no excuses left. Cena then attacked Orton, but Orton laid him out with an RKO. Randy then posed with the WWE Championship.
