Author’s take

John Cena taking on Shinsuke Nakamura for the first time on one of the WWE’s main shows is a huge HUGE deal not only for the WWE but also for professional wrestling as a whole.

In my opinion, the WWE books both Superstars to look strong regardless of the result of the matchup, with the outcome of the match playing a pivotal role for the WWE’s blue brand in the days to come.
