John Cena opened this week’s WWE SmackDown with a promo discussing his strategic approach to opponents, emphasizing his mental edge over potential challengers. The 17-time world champion detailed how he stays ahead of competition before matches even begin.
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo shared his perspective on the segment during BroDown with Mac Davis. Russo praised the promo’s structure and clarity, attributing its quality to Cena’s own writing rather than WWE’s creative team.
This was a very good promo because obviously this was all written by John Cena, one thousand percent. He laid out his entire plan from the day he came back. I even wrote very, very well done because this was not written by a writer.
Cena is scheduled to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk at Night of Champions. Before that, he faces Ron Killings in a singles match on next week’s SmackDown.
