John Cena is only back in WWE for a limited span of time. During this period, his aim has been to put over talent. If you saw his segment with Becky Lynch, you know how much she gained from the additional eyeballs Cena brought to her. In the same way, he even did a backstage segment with the Lucha House party.
Balor pinned Cena to gain the opportunity at The Beast Incarnate. In so many ways, this was a passing of the torch from Cena to Balor. Cena will not be in WWE for long, but Balor has the opportunity to break out and become the next John Cena.
How exciting is it that Balor finally has a chance to dethrone The Beast Incarnate at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view? Do you think the big title change will happen?
Can you imagine Brock Lesnar pinning The Demon King?
