Cena and the titles are one. Soon they will fuse into a gestalt being made of gold, leather, and respect. "The Championship is here."

And then everyone dies screaming.

The Championship opens its two gaping maws, and a blown out staticky version of Cena's theme plays at ear splitting levels. No one survives.

Don't have the network so I didn't see the PPV but I think with Bryan on the shelf, Cena was the best person to win the belts given Rollins has the briefcase. Reigns is still too new to the singles scene and Sheamus is already US Champ. If Brock is scheduled to take the title from Cena at the next PPV, it's the perfect setup for Rollins to swoop in on an injured Cena after he wins the championship back.

I like to think that WWE would have us believe that Damian Sandow was actually Paul Revere/Abe Lincoln/Susan B. Anthony ripped from time and they were actually really big jerks that deserved to be beaten up and humiliated.

I really hope they keep Seth and Dean FAR away from Cena except in the case of Rollins cashing in and Dean jumping him; I know Cena tagging with Dean is supposed to give him a rub, but I just have a hard time buying Dean having any interest in being part of Cena's Superfriends.

Being Cena's friend doesn't work well for most people. On paper it should legitimize them but usually it makes them the Usos.

Normally I'd agree but I think the Usos have just been getting better and better and their current friendship with Cena has only been a help - their match with Harper and Rowan on the PPV was excellent.

I think his age works with his gimmick, honestly. The problem is that he needs to knock off the stupid motorcycle riding for a while. When he first returned in 2014 with the goatee he was all old and pale and poo poo. Then on his next appearance he clearly had been riding all weekend and looked like a loving lobster all the way through WM30.

Also he needs to finish on a good match, if he seriously retires on that wet fart I am going to be steamed. I mean he doesn't even need to get very physical, just retire on a decent match storyline-wise.

What the hell is a "rapadoo?" Like, I see what it means via context, but where did the word come from?

^^^ This

If they want to do the requisite "every story in the tag match" bit, let it happen later on with some more buildup; let teaming with Cena be Dean's only way to get his hands on Seth after weeks of being stymied. Then it's an alliance of convenience which fits Dean's persona as opposed to "Oh boy oh boy I get to be Cena's buddy for a month!"

If I recall it's because the very first thing you hear in his theme, and thus when he wins, is RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAPADOOOOOOO and since it sounds like (or means, gently caress I speak French ok?) 'rapid', and a Rapadoo win involves him basically coming from nowhere to suddenly win, it sounds funny.

edit: It mainly means 'cena won and I'm mad tho', though.

Rapadoo is the first word in Cena's theme. Trumpets then "RRRRRRRRAPADOOOOOOOO". What is the definition? I don't know. Probably an old Spanish word for "guy that always wins".

Nothing. The actual non-word, according to MOP's suit against WWE over the wholesale lifting of Ante Up's intro, is Brrrr ABADO which means nothing.

They could do basically what they did with Punk in 2012 where they reveal a fake cover and Bryan says "haha that's not the real cover" and ruins their parade by unveiling the real one if that's what they wanted to do. Realistically, I expect it to have multiple people on the cover.

We're gonna. And by "we" I mean anyone who's gonna buy it. They had a year to make the thing. They might have tweaked the engine a bit but in such little time they couldn't have done more than put in new assets and give it a new interface.
