WWE fans were stunned when Brock Lesnar steamrolled John Cena to open WrestlePalooza. What was expected to be one of Cenas farewell matches turned into a dominant squash by Lesnar. But after rumors spread that Cena was originally booked to win and changed the finish himself, one wrestling insider says that story couldnt be further from the truth.
Billi Bhatti, speaking on Dirt Sheets The Wrestling Informer podcast, called out what he described as the biggest nonsense of the week, denying the claim that Cena flipped the script to make himself look worse.
Bhatti didnt mince words. He said the finish was always locked in, and Cena never needed to change anything.
While Bhatti admitted the layout of the match could have been Cenas idea, he firmly stated that the final result was never in question.
At the end of the day, the shocking squash wasnt some last-minute Cena curveballit was always booked for Brock to walk out dominant. Fans might debate how the match looked, but the result was locked in from the start. The real question now is whether this was truly the best way to handle one of Cenas farewell matches, or if WWE missed an opportunity to give him a more fitting sendoff.
