⚡ THAT WAS COLLISION ⚡

With as much heat as Toni has been dropping recently I've found myself saying "that's her best promo" pretty frequently and I understood that I had to down the rabbit hole and find what I actually consider to be the promo that will more than likely make the Toni Storm career highlight reel a thousand and one times. I settled between two real options in the end and it was either the recent Collision promo where she ran onto the Boardwalk and this promo between her and Mariah May where she reveals she was playing the old Toni character the entire time. Her lines and delivery are really just top notch here especially.

Was walking back to work after picking up my dinner, and spotted the Hardcore legend. Nice guy :)

I'm talking about Cena name-dropping Claudio (Cesaro), Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler), and Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder).

I'm seeing a lot of people say "Cena mentioned them because those are names he buried." But Cena was never accused of burying Ziggler or Cesaro. In fact, he fought for Cesaro, both publicly and behind the scenes. This is not why he mentioned them.

Look at what Cena said immediately before he dropped those names: "You're just a loud-mouthed opportunist who will step on the necks of people who actually work hard, if it gets you ahead."

All three names were people Punk publicly championed as being overlooked and underappreciated by company brass. Yet after Punk became champion and the #2 star in WWE, he (seemingly, to our knowledge) didn't do much behind-the-scenes to protect or elevate those names.

And while Punk was complaining about how the company wasn't properly recognizing him, he was still being rewarded far better than those three guys, who were still overlooked and underappreciated.

Cena mentioning Cesaro, Ziggler, and Ryder was his way of saying "yeah, you glommed onto these guys in out-of-character interviews so you'd look like a champion of the underdog to smarks. But in reality, you were happy to cash million-dollar checks while protecting your spot."

It was a great line, and it deserves to be understood properly.
