On the latest episode of WWE RAW, John Cena made a highly-anticipated comeback and was visibly emotional upon hearing the cheers from the live audience. He got into a fiery exchange with Austin Theory and eventually agreed to face him in a blockbuster match at WrestleMania 39.
It was largely a one-sided beatdown, as John Cena verbally obliterated Austin Theory in the promo and ended up setting up their match at the Show of Shows.
Fightful Select now reports that Cena’s segment on the show was the only one that wasn’t changed by backstage staff, as Cena himself produced the segment.
It appears that the creative control for a recent segment involving John Cena and Austin Theory was largely given to Cena, with Theory playing a supporting role. As a result, the segment did not require much input from producers, as Cena was trusted to come up with his own material and bring his own unique style to the performance.
