He also never seemed to have a beef with people cashing in like this before.
He basically calls him a coward and says he'll get whats coming to him when he defends the title someday. Despite the fact he just defended the title and won cleanly minutes before against Rey. It was just a horrible speech that made no sense. But they weren't about to go a PPV without Cena in a title match.

The "someday you'll have to defend the title" line was obviously a slip-up but the rest of it was just a frustrated and angry Cena - I just thought it was funny that before the show there was that prediction that we'd get "aw shucks good guy" Cena, when here - he was actually pissed off when ADR had every right to do what he did - and then of course everyone complains about that too.
IDK - the slipups and the occasional logic breakdowns just don't bother me. I really don't think the product that so many in this thread and on the internet demands, through the nitpicking every week, has ever actually existed in any promotion, in any year. I'm glad I just have lower standards for my sports entertainment I suppose. TNA has too much going on too quickly, ROH bores me to tears - I continue to be clueless about the hate but that's been my schtick in this thread since 2006 (when everyone, in retrospect, of course thinks everything was amazing). I do think you have to suspend your disbelief a little, and enjoy the really bad stuff as being oddly entertaining in it's own campy way to hang with this stuff for very long. It sure as hell ain't high-brow entertainment and I couldn't disagree with anyone that called it stupid.....I am bewildered when trying to figure out exactly what would make them happy in a the pro wrestling universe though. (And we have a level of wrestling today in the WWE that we NEVER had from 1985-2003...2003-2004 was the peak of "wrestling" in the WWE, but it also marked the decline of business.....not a coincidence....amazingly, they didn't abandon wrestling and we've still gotten great wrestling in most main events and some of the midcard ever since....)
Edit: Sin Cara #2 is one example of this. You can be pissed off and annoyed that they're using a guy with a completely different build as Sin Cara for one week for no apparent reason - or you can check it out to see it play out, and if it's terrible, laugh at it. I just don't get the anger over stuff like that, or silly pro wrestling booking in general.
