John Cena was on Raw this week, as he confronted Vince McMahon on allowing him the opportunity to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal title, as Braun Strowman could not compete in the match.

Cena made points on Stone Cold, The Rock, and even Lesnar himself walking out on McMahon while he stuck around and kept the WWE relevant. While Cena didn't get the chance to face Lesnar, as he lost to Balor clean in the number one contenders match later on the night, he did do something important.

Cena not only let Balor go over by allowing the former Universal Champion pin him, he told Balor after the match that even though Vince McMahon does not believe in him, he does believe that Balor will one day be at the top of the company.

That was big praise for a man that was on the receiving end of bad booking in the last few years. Maybe this will signal a change for Balor.
