That’s a perilous factor as a result of it may possibly get you far however it may possibly additionally make you consider your personal hype.

Six years in the past, Wyatt misplaced and were given lazy however blamed Cena as a substitute. Cena by no means provides up and a few other people say it’s as a result of he wins so much.

Wyatt pops up in an empty seat and says Cena can say this whilst having the whole thing. A large number of other people need to believe what it’s love to be Cena for at some point.

In truth, Cena is the ill one as a result of no person believes that it’s concerning the long run. Cena will wreck and bury everybody so long as he will get the highlight. He craves it like an addict or even fiends for it. Six years in the past, Cena took one thing from Bray and he’s considered it so much since. He sought after to weigh down his mind for 5 seconds of peace from the voices however then he began listening. Those voices become a amusing area and he was once put again in combination because the Fiend. At Wrestlemania, it’s going to be a slaughter. Let him in.
