In John Cena's final performance in his hometown of Boston, he won the Intercontinental Championship -- in many ways the final piece of the puzzle to what many would call the most prolific career in WWE history. On a night with multiple title matches and a pair of title changes, fans got world champions fighting together on the same side, the official start of the 16-wrestler tournament to become Cena's final opponent and a surprise return at the end of the show to set up a Survivor Series: War Games match.
Good morning, wrestling fans! It early in the U.S., but across the globe in Australia, it's prime-time for WWE action. The Crown Jewel event at RAC Center in Perth, Australia, features two Crown Jewel Championship matches, a stop on the John Cena retirement tour, a tag team match full of mixed feeling and something called an Australian Street Fight that we will be learning about alongside you.
With his medicine-ball biceps and chin worthy of an Easter Island moai, the wrestler turned actor John Cena can actually pull off wearing a daft comic book outfit, shiny silver helmet and all. That's what makes Cena's spandex-clad Chris Smith AKA Peacemaker so inherently funny: he looks the part but is a demonstrably terrible superhero. Being a hard-charging, self-sabotaging meathead with a propensity for violence and a hair-trigger temper will never make you as beloved as Superman. But it can be highly entertaining to watch.
