5 Necessary changes that should happen in WWE commentary team

5. Move on from “Super-Cena”

John Cena’s run at the top may be over, and it’s high time that they stop plugging him

Consider this. Brock Lesnar dominates John Cena and suplexes him out of the WWE Title scene. Now, Kevin Owens is poised to finish what he started. The writing has been on the wall for the past year, but somehow the commentators seem oblivious to that.

It is almost as though every match of his showcases a biography of the man, his achievements and his admirable qualities. Include the endless dissection of HLR, and how it’s more than just a catchphrase to him. Even JBL, the heel colour commentator, unabashedly compliments John Cena on his grit and determination.

Sometimes it’s hard to understand why the WWE blows so hot and cold as far as seizing the pulse of its audience is concerned. Much to the delight of the fans, Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens are getting a push on one side, but Super-Cena the phenomenon shows no sign of blowing over on the other.

Perhaps it is indicative of two backstage creative influences in Vince McMahon and Triple H, but the WWE have always made a mistake in force-feeding John Cena to the fans. One would think, at least now, on the face of a new generation of WWE Superstars and a new era in programming, the commentators would hold back on incessantly plugging John Cena for truly, his time is up and perhaps the WWE needs to square with that fact sooner rather than later.
