John Cena is finally breaking down what really happened at WrestlePalooza, where he was squashed by Brock Lesnar and it wasnt a creative misfire. According to Cena, the one-sided beatdown was part of a bigger plan to rebuild Lesnar as an unstoppable force.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Cena said the short match wasnt random or rushed it was strategic. The goal wasnt to deliver a long bout, but to remind the world who Brock Lesnar is the moment he returned.
Cena pointed out that WWE often uses him to welcome megastars back into the limelight. When someone needed to look good on their return? Hes the one across the ring and its by design.
The quick loss to the Beast Incarnate wasnt about burying Cena. It was about making Brock look untouchable as WWE sets up his final run possibly ending where it all began.
And from Cenas point of view, he had no problem taking the loss. He knows where he stands and what his role is at this stage of his career.
For fans wondering why the match didnt go longer, Cena said the decision was intentional and every move served a purpose. It wasnt about match time; it was about creating an impact.
John Cena admitted some fans were thrown off by how one-sided it was, but said it lit a fire under the audience and set up the next feud perfectly.
Right after the match, Cena changed gears and immediately knew his next move. That led directly to Cena vs. AJ Styles at Crown Jewel in Perth a complete 180 from the Lesnar match and a bout that fans actually got behind. But Cena says the story only worked because of what came before it.
Whether fans loved it or hated it, the Lesnar squash was never a throwaway. It was a calculated move in a bigger story and according to Cena, one that had to happen.
