John Cena makes his way to the ring as the show returns. He says that while he has warned the WWE Universe repeatedly not to follow Bray Wyatt, but they still do anyway so there is nothing he can do about it. He tries to figure out why they like him so much, saying that maybe its his singing, the sheep masks, or the charisma of Bray Wyatt. A replay then airs of Wyatt's promo from Monday night. He asks the audience what they really believe. He says that John Cena still believe in honor, loyalty and hard work and for fighting for what he believes in. He then says holds up he "Never Give Up" towel and says that is his message and that is who he is and what he believes in.
REVIEW
Overall, not a bad episode of Main Event. Ziggler and Swagger had a decent match and Adam Rose coming out was silly but still entertaining. Goldust had an awesome match with Curtis Axel tonight. These two have faced off many times over the past few months and it is always hit or miss. Tonight it was a hit and they had a high intensity slug fest that was definitely the highlight of the show. The spot with Cody Rhodes delivering the disaster kick to Ryback was perfectly timed and unexpected. I'm hoping that The Rhodes Brothers disband soon because, in my opinion, they are better singles competitors than they are as a tag-team. Goldust is better than he's ever been in his entire career and needs some time as a singles competitor to really shine.
John Cena's promo tonight was good but predictable. Cena always delivers on the mic and the way he can channel his emotions is always worth watching. The way his voice cracked when he was talking about what he believed in as compared to Bray Wyatt really sold the angle and helped progress this epic rivalry.
