    Another one to add to the list: Charlotte beating Asuka at Mania and ending her undefeated streak. It just came off as the usual NXT talent being buried bullshit...and that says a lot considering Asuka was Champion at the time. The simplest thing they could have done was have Asuka beat Charlotte, stay undefeated the entire year, then have a rematch with Charlotte at the following Mania and have Charlotte go over there, which would have told a far better story.

      It won't be a good return for Cena either. This match is being used to build up Reigns Tribal Chief character even further. Probably going to destroy Cena in this match. Probably use the story Cena is older, rarely wrestles anymore, so he will probably be demolished to build Reigns heel character more. I feel this is all leading up to a possible Rock/Reigns match at WM.
