John Cena

But that didn't help Brock, that didn't help the story, and it didn't help all of us.

I can't say that night was a good time, watching you getting annihilated.

And that's another thing.

When you sit there live, it is a one-episode thing.

but it's not it's the vibe it gets weird because people are like oh my god so is he gonna really get hurt here what's happening do it knowing there's a lot of things here and i love talking about this i could i could talk about it all day what what is the purpose of the match

It depends.

The purpose of that match was to get Brock Lesnar over strong on our most cherished, strong, and believable intellectual property.

If he can beat The Undertaker, he's a beast.

If he just destroys John Cena...

Now he's a monster.

I want you uncomfortable and looking over to your shoulder, your friend being like, who the F is going to beat this guy?

And along comes somebody like Roman Reigns.

Finally, he can do it.

You know, like, and those moments, you leverage that SummerSlam, that single serving packet.

In a microcosm, this is why I said you got a lot of stuff there.

In a microcosm, and this is the first time I'm reflecting on this year because it's a narrative that's going, but we got one left, so who cares?

The match Cody and I had at WrestleMania.

Which was awesome.

Some people would say different, but it was not the end of our story.

It was like the end of act one.
