2. John Cena
I think End-Of-Career Self-Aware John Cena is legitimately my favorite incarnation of John Cena, right behind Doctor Of Thuganomics Cena.
Here you have a superstar wrestler who understands where his position in the company lies. He understands what footing he has with the audience. Unlike some veterans from the not-so-distant past, Cena truly does have the best-for-business attitude and is ready to play the role that is expected of him to make sure the company can continue and thrive once he’s really and truly gone.
In the meantime, let’s leave him to crush his promos with as much fire as he’s always had, nuanced with that wonderful blur of kayfabe and shoot.

1. Braun Strowman
I’m very much in an existential dilemma right now.
As it stands, Braun Strowman unquestionably pulled off the most impressive result of the show, as he, his beard, and his invincibility defeated every single tag team on Raw to become the number one contender to Sheamus and Cesaro’s Raw Tag Team Championships.
Yup, he did it alone.

Creatively speaking, I love the idea and it makes a lot of sense. After all, Braun didn’t have a WrestleMania match and being the unconquerable monster that he is, it’s easy to imagine him winning and carrying the tag titles all by himself.
But I can’t help but hate how all the teams on Raw’s tag division were treated in this segment.
