More Backstage News on the John Cena/Roman Reigns Segment

WrestlingInc and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter have provided a backstage update on the segment between John Cena and Roman Reigns from ‘Raw.’

If you would like a reminder of the promo, we highly suggest watching the video we’ve linked down below this text. Alternatively, we have the full segment between Reigns and Cena available here. This was one of the most talked about segments in recent memory for both ‘Raw’ and WWE as a whole.

Cena and Reigns shoot from the hip in heated verbal exchange: Raw, Aug. 28, 2017

The segment between Cena and Reigns during ‘Raw’ in Memphis, as previously reported, went down exactly as it was designed to be.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has added that the only part of the segment that was not planned was for Cena to make fun of Reigns for forgetting his lines.

The script for that segment was completed last week, with Vince McMahon personally speaking with both Cena and Reigns about what he wanted to happen. They were given their outlines for the script there.

Reigns and Cena will meet at ‘No Mercy’ on September 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It is being said that Cena potentially filming the new Transformers spin-off movie has forced WWE to move forward the feud. That said, this will certainly not be the final match between the two.
