Did John Cena's "Smackdown Live" Plan Work?

One step forward. Earlier this week at “Elimination Chamber 2018”, John Cena failed in his attempt to become #1 contender to the Universal Title. The following night on “Monday Night Raw”, Cena admitted his failure and said it was time to get desperate to go to “Wrestlemania XXXIV”. That sent him to “Smackdown Live” this week, where he had an idea. Now that the show is over, did the idea work?

If this doesn’t work, Cena does have another rather popular idea.

This week on “Smackdown Live”, Cena requested a chance to be added to the Fatal Five Way at “Fastlane 2018”. Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan agreed, giving Cena a match against Smackdown World Champion AJ Styles. If Cena could win, he would be added to the match. Cena did in fact win, making the Fatal Five Way a Six Pack Challenge.

Opinion: I’m still thinking we’re getting Cena vs. Undertaker in New Orleans and while the false hope idea is nice, it’s going to leave us with four weeks to go before what should be one of the biggest matches of all time. I’m not sure why that’s the way they’re going, especially with this not exactly thrilling “can Cena get to Wrestlemania” story. But at least Styles vs. Cena was good.

Come see the rare sight of the “Smackdown” bosses agreeing.
