WWE Wrestlepalooza kicked off this weekend with
John Cena taking a shocking loss to
Brock Lesnar. But why did things go down that way?
It was reported following Wrestlepalooza that as of Saturday morning, Cena was scheduled to defeat Lesnar. So what took place on Saturday that saw such a sudden shift in booking?
According to
Dave Meltzer on
Wrestling Observer Radio, the finish was Cena’s call, and there are no plans for a rematch before he retires in December.
“There’s no plan for a rematch,” Dave Meltzer said. “I don’t wanna say it was John’s idea, but what I was basically told is, John is very unselfish, and he knows on the way out, he wants to make people. He wants to make big stars. So he felt that was… it’s his call. And that was his call.
“A lot of guys, when they’re on their way out, their call is to lose and to put the other guy over. And that was John’s call. At the end of the day, it’s
Paul Levesque’s call, but if John says that, it’s not like Paul Levesque’s gonna go, ‘No no no, you have to win.’ Especially when Brock is the one staying and he’s the one leaving, and whatever they have planned for Brock.” [H/T:
