SmackDown’s Head of Creative Blasts Fans for Complaining About Cena vs. Nakamura

Some unfortunate fans left last night’s SmackDown Live feeling glum. How could WWE book a Wrestlemania caliber match like John Cena vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for a free episode of SmackDown with no built-in story? According to them, this is just bad business.

The angrier sects of the fanbase took to Twitter, asking for SmackDown’s head of creative and former Attitude Era Superstar, Brian James (RoadDogg) to be fired. They even created the hashtag #FireRoadDogg.

Was the New Age outlaw distressed by this movement?

Not really. Instead, he had fun in doing his best Dikembe Mutombo impersonation:

While Roaddag may have the title of head of SmackDown’s creative, he’s not responsible for who John Cena faces at any point. Sure he has input, but this is still Vince McMahon’s company. So while it may be fun to troll Roaddog, fans are inherently throwing stones at the wrong house. But that didn’t keep the DX member from having some fun.

Personally, I was shocked that WWE pulled this Cena/Shinsuke Nakamura trigger. However, unlike some people, I’m very excited for this match. Some sects of fans can’t believe WWE is giving this match away for free and without a proper set up of narrative. These people are miserable and should be avoided at all costs.

How could we possibly blame WWE here? Yes, it is a WrestleMania caliber match, but who’s to say we are getting robbed of that moment? We have no idea how long Cena will be around. All signs point to him fighting Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 and even that is speculation. How could we possibly assume that we were gong to get Cena/Nakamura at WrestleMania 39?

My advice: Enjoy this. Let WWE do the decision making and you just be a fan.
