JOHN CENA IS COOL AND YOUR BOOKING WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!! I NOT MAAD

[@5ShadesGaming]

Email this to HHH right now. This is the best one you ever done Adam!

[@imanidiot7630]

Last tweek, after seeing everyone, Vince and staff in gorilla, I’d have a glitch of Fiends sitting as Vince and staff laughing, smiling then just a glass break of Fiend releasing Cena to normalcy. Then once again to normal Cena he’s Confused John when his music hits, boos, title in hand, what’s this? Questioning himself of where am I? He sees he’s at mania. Shrugs shoulder and says well I guess I’m defending the title at mania and you give Big match John firing on all cylinders vs Seth Rollins to carry company. That way Monday after mania is ,”Idk what came over me, got title, gave my best, some not proud of, blah blah. Want some come get some Goodbye.”

[@masterrserch3971]

This was great, REALLY great, especially since I'm one of those staunch, loyal Cena haters lol,, but I still can get really behind this (even though, yes, I feel he shouldn't break Flairs record)...but wouldnt it make sense to have Cena face the Fiend at some point, perhaps even his match at WM 39, since he was the one to "change" him?

Ngl man, I really felt it at that final speech. I imagined it with John Cena's voice and I gotta say, I'll miss that guy when he does retire. Say what you will about him, but he carried the company on his back for a long time. He deserves to be called one of the greatest of all time.

[@NDTexan]

I can dig this. To be honest I never thought a proper heel turn for Cena should be as obvious as most heel turns. It should be somewhat vague and should involve Cena thinking what he's doing is right and best for the company and that he is still the good guy. Feeds in perfectly to that whole meta re-examination from the match with the fiend. Frankly good guys and bad guys are often a lot more gray than people would like to admit and I think this would be a lot more accurate with his character through the years

[@arashitendou5941]

Especially since examination of his passed actions can paint that kinda light on him Cena felt he was being the nice and good guy by backing Zack and helping him get one last shot at the US Title But instead long term he got embarrassed, lost his title, girlfriend, and was constantly attacked by Kane Cena thought he was doing the right thing by letting Bryan be his opponent to win the WWE title from him But instead he blames his injured arm, adding the conclusion he only lost cause he went in basically with only one arm, and left whilst leaving Bryan to be on his own against the Authority He thought he was helping the locker room by getting rid of the Authority after Survivor Series but they still tormented his team before and after the PPV I see it like he’s Zack Synder’s Man of Steel: thinks he’s doing the right thing but kinda ignoring the collateral damage he’s continually causing

Came back here after Cena’s press conference at Royal Rumble Let’s see if they do Plumpy’s idea

[@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334]

yep. the way he spoke at that press conference put this immediately in my mind. i think they're doing it.

[@gohanblack5545]

Im still waiting for how Adam would book Keith Lee on the Main roster

[@dokuganryu1565]

I don't think we'd be able to handle the absolute love this man has for Keith Lee if it's let free

[@mattsugrim7132]

Dude he'd split him from Mia Yim, marry him hard way, and never let him go.

[@gohanblack5545]

Mia Yim gotta be single if Keith Lee is to be the Next Big Thing

[@Dave_ja_vu]

Let wwe have a go at it first

[@yahsehirwilson832]

POV : You have. nothing to do this morning and this is literally the greatest thing going in the wrestling community

[@NHIxSunday]

That was the most entertaining episode of raw I’ve ever seen…and it doesn’t even exist. And the fact that this probably won’t happen rips my heart apart

[@RohitRetnakaran]

Anyone else teared up when Adam talked about the retirement speech?

[@dantejuryoku1596]

Yes that "U can't see me" hit different. I know for a fact if he actually does that at his actual retirement speech there will be tears, lots of em.

[@tonybeattie3980]

I know this is a late reply, hell on KZbin a one year comment is practically a necropost, but for me it was the “I will miss you- even those of you who have never liked me. I-I always tried my best to entertain you. I really did try” As someone who has creative aspirations but isn’t sure what idea to go with, this feels like something I can hear myself saying.

[@sosa6724]

Here after MITB '21, waiting to see who does it better

[@TarHeelsKenny]

Adam is the greatest booker of all time. This man just gets it.

[@riser9940]

My favorite old bookings from Adam was when he always had to book a feud or superstar that had john cena involved because he'd constantly sing "doo doo dooo" Edit : 0:11 nvm the lad did it , such nostalgia

[@Harshfxd]

Why did he said I'm Adam Haling🤔🤔

[@baakaaria]

@@Harshfxd I'm Adam, hailing from Parts Funknown. That's the gimmick for this new channel.

[@aiden5831]

Adam’s booking gives me a reason to wake up

[@darbytheturtle]

Love him or hate him, the man has been such an iconic WWE guy that its almost impossible to ask a non wrestling fan to name a wrestler and them not have John Cena in their list. And hearing those last moments and the retirement speech, you can't help but realise that he may not want to break the record, but he has earned it.

[@notoriousmigz2427]

This was genuinely brilliant storytelling. Cenas slight change in those negatives of his personal coming to light in kayfabe is a brilliant way to show change cause of the Fiend. Also it's a heel turn that isn't a full blown heel turn, it's a character arcs that can draw heat but still have him retain a fair bit of support. Playing that sort of heel-ish role while believing he's the face is something Cena can do and has done before in his feud with pipe bomb punk. Also if WWE are all in on Drew being their next big face to carry the company vs heel superstar Reigns, then Cena ending his title reign by putting him over would be massive for him.

[@WatchAMalotStudios]

Basically bayley b4 the tomboy look

[@notoriousmigz2427]

Looking back a year later, and James Gunn thinks he's original.

[@jettpackjettson3743]

The fact that WWE hasn’t hired you for creative amazes me more and more each video. Best one yet! That opening rap tho 🔥 🔥🔥

[@PhenomenalByChoice]

His New Shirt Should Definitely Say "Cena Wins lol" That As Heel Gear Would Be Beautiful.

[@jackforrester7153]

Cenas final speech and final walk up the ramp may be the loudest chant of all time

[@jwreck25]

Anyone else think of this same video after the Netflix Raw episode?

[@ronaldromero7364]

Everyone: White Men Cant Rap Adam: Hold my Jam

[@averix84]

😂

[@Robyamdam]

Eminem?

[@skyblaze1134]

@@Robyamdam why is the only white paper people bring up is Em.. Theirs a bunch of other great white rappers

[@mridulbatra5297]

I was on the verge of crying listening to John's last promo from Adam. too good

[@alexandrecarvalho7591]

Yessss! I know, right?! I was legit almost crying too!

[@TheNerdyMark]

That was kind of emotional tbh. I really want to see a part 2 to this... Keith Lee’s WWE title run

[@therudeprelude]

His last promo ends with “U Won’t C Me” 👋 😢

[@htanner1985]

Okay this may sound silly but what if Adam rebooked the corre and used his wrestling magic to somehow make it a good storyline

[@kenadamsbusinessfirm]

“And through it all” me: *thinking of frank sinatra.* Adam: “I ate it up..” Me: HE DID IT

[@juliooquendo220]

Adam brings so much positive things and he is good at Rapping wow. He brings in life in dark times.

[@OnyxSkiesXIX]

ADAM I LOVE YOU. JAM THAT JAM. Also, your opening rap about Cena’s career was just *chef’s kiss* incredible!

[@zachandthat]

HOW DARE YOU MAKE BETTER BOOKING THAN WWE WOULD EVER DO. HOW DARE YOU BE SO GOOD AT THIS JOB!!!

[@jeffdavenport8104]

OMG. That opening freestyle. We all bow down to Adam!
