As we reported Monday, John Cena vs Ryback had been locally advertised for Monday Night Raw, however the match was only a dark match and it took place after Raw went off the air Monday night. When the camera’s “go dark,” and stop feeding a live feed to the production truth, the WWE usually has one more match for the fans that have come to enjoy the event. After Punk left the ring, Cena and Ryback faced each other in a Tables match. Cena picked up the victory after an AA sent “The Ryback” crashing through some lumber.
Fan reports coming in about the match have not been kind to the 2 superstars. Many of the “fan submissions” we’ve seen or received about this match have been laden with one word more than any other, botch. Apparently, Ryback and Cena were off their game, and continued botched spot after botched spot. Ryback’s post-Payback plans are still up in the air, but unless they make Cena and Henry’s match at Money In The Bank a Triple-Threat, it looks like “The Ryback” is out of the WWE Title picture for the foreseeable future.
