WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena have been engaged in a heated promo battle on WWE Raw, but according to Eric Bischoff, there’s still room for improvement when it comes to the overall content of their messaging. During an episode of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff, Bischoff discussed the recent promos and suggested that the issue may be due to the audience’s language barrier in Europe.
Bischoff pointed out that while many Europeans speak some English, accents and audio quality can make it difficult for them to fully understand certain messages. He believes that this could have been a problem with Cena’s recent heel turn promo, which he deemed “weak” in terms of its message.
Conrad Thompson agreed with Bischoff, but suggested that the promos were likely shot in Europe because John Cena is shooting a movie there. However, Bischoff disagreed, saying that having a reason for the heel turn is essential to gaining momentum and connecting with the audience.
Ultimately, Bischoff believes that Cena’s promo was “exciting” but lacked a strong message, which was undermined by his delivery. He echoed Thompson’s sentiments, calling Cena’s heel turn “interesting” but urging him to develop a stronger narrative to make it more impactful.
