>>13908658>>13908665It was pretty simple, Cena was having his supercena runs from like '06 to '15, casuals, kids and unironically special needs people really loved him but internet smarkfaggots would constantly piss and shit their pants over his booking and how he had an extremely limited moveset. He was 39 in 2016, basically had only a few years left in the tank and had done just about anything he wanted to do in the E and was one foot out of the door and into Hollywood, so he decided to use his megastar status to prop the US title higher up in the reputation department, to give the rub to younger, up and coming talent and to finally prove the naysayers wrong and show that he can indeed put on decent matches by smark standards, just because he could and that was about the only thing he had left to prove.
