So they got a little pretentious and figured the worst thing Cena could do was... Nothing. And they're right. Some people would 100% pop for Cena coming out to Thuganomics and with his old gear.
THAT BEING SAID
There's a fine line between pissing off fans for real and pissing them off because of a storyline. It's not all the same, if it was, Roman was the best heel in the company because everyone wanted him off our screens after the Shield when he was being forced down our throat.
He wasn't being a great heel, he was just being shittily booked. People didn't want to boo him, people just didn't want to watch him.
John doing this is just... Eh. It's a boring decision. It's not lazy, I can see their logic, but from a creative standpoint, it's just boring. Maybe they've got some extra depth planned but eh. We'll see.
