Biggest swerve in 2013, this thread not being made by BLFFL.
Watching the match, mentioned that Cena had the best match of the night the last 3 Raws + and even heard his match with Ryback of all people went shockingly well on Smackdown. You could even buy into the near-falls then and you can now. Figured there could be some clever way they could make Cena eat a loss (since even though he's Cena he's basically a midcarder now) in a handicap match. He's changed his ring style, he's reinvigorated and selling believably, he's making his opponents look really good, he's delivering some top-notch psychology... Ever since he came back, Cena's been great in the ring.
With the match with the Real Americans, coming out of it I was impressed with just how much they protected Cesaro. He shoved him off the ropes, he took a bump JUST long enough for Cena to quickly (and believably) get the tap-out on Swagger before Cesaro came running in like a freight train to beat him down. Just shows how much they really want to showcase the dude, hell not everyone gets to counter the Shoulder Tackles of Doom into amazing highspots. There's nothing to worry about here.
