WWE Smackdown: John Cena gets called ‘balding b****’ as Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk set their eyes on his title
WWE Smackdown: Several WWE superstars including Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and LA Knight challenged John Cena for his WWE Championship.

WWE Smackdown: It is all-out ‘war’ on the 17-time world champion John Cena. The wrestler, who is currently on his farewell tour in the WWE and will be retiring from in-ring performances in December, was challenged by every big name in the roster for his undisputed WWE title. Verbal battles, sneak attacks, and the King of the Ring tournament – this episode of Smackdown had it all.
John Cena walked in front of a sold-out Kentucky crowd as half the crowd supported him, while the other half was against him. Cena, who turned ‘heel’ (negative character) after the last Elimination Chamber, started explaining his plan that has been in motion for over a year. He explained how he joined the Royal Rumble, and even though he didn’t win, he used his seniority in the company to get himself a spot in the Chamber. He was listing out the flurry of opponents he had beaten on his way when Rhodes walked out to make a statement of his own.
Rhodes warned Cena, “I am not a part of your plan; you’re a part of mine,” and declared that he was coming for Cena’s championship. Meanwhile Orton walked in to the ring to address his problems with Cena. Cena beat Orton at Backlash, and Orton pointed out the fact that if he hadn’t been interrupted, he would have beaten Cena for the title.
Although this already superstar-heavy segment did not need anyone else, LA Knight made an appearance and told all three men (Orton, Cena and Rhodes) that he is willing to go through all of them to become the undisputed WWE champion. He said, “I will take down a viper (Orton), a nightmare (Rhodes), and a ‘genius’ balding b**** (John Cena) to become the champion.” At this point Cena had heard enough from his challengers and he decided to walk out and just as he was about to disappear to the backstage, Ron ‘Truth’ Killings (R-Truth’s alter ego) attacked him from the behind. Killings felt betrayed after Cena, his long-time hero, attacked him after Backlash, an event where he helped him secure the win over Orton.
Later that night, Punk also warned Cena that he was coming for his title, and Ron Killings again attacked him and put him in Cena’s own submission hold STF. As Night of Champions closes, the number of people gunning for the title is increasing, and the number of people who have a problem with Cena is rising even faster. Punk will have to beat Cena at the Night of Champions to win the WWE title, and it will be an uphill task, as the new Cena does not care about rules or what the audience thinks of him and will do whatever it takes to hold on to the title.
