The main event of tonight’s (June 20) episode of SmackDown was a rematch between John Cena and Ron Killings aka R-Truth.
The match ended up being mostly a bunch of nothing, including a garbage disqualification finish with John Cena using a belt shot to the head.
CM Punk came out to get a piece of Cena afterwards, but Cena used a low blow and more belt shots to take out his upcoming opponent in Saudi Arabia. With Punk laying in the rubble of a Slim Jim table, Cena went to go grab a mic. There was plenty of time left in the show, so I knew exactly what was coming: Cena’s own version of CM Punk’s famous pipe bomb promo from 2011.
Cena’s pipe bomb included shout outs to AEW star Claudio Castagnoli (fka Cesaro), TNA star Nic Nemeth (fka Dolph Ziggler), and indie God Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder), rather than Colt Cabana from the original. He ended it by thanking Punk for letting him rip off his promo.
Here are the grievances Cena wanted to get off his chest:
