Did they air this on Raw at all? Or are they just showing this amazing package to people who already paid them....?

clips of it were used for that cena/lesnar video they've shown a couple times, but yes this is just for the paying customer

It was nice to see the announcers and talent going full in on this 9.99 thing. It's transcended shilling and is moving into an industry meme.

I counted at least 3 9.99 signs, including "NWO for 9.99".

Agree. Also this hype special is beyond great. They should've aired more of this on Raw.

I like that everything good on the network is decried for not getting shown on TV while people continue to complain the network not having enough original content

I wish they did more of this serious, deadpan, quiet kind of MMA-ish build for big matches.

(edit): ahahaha I think they cut the "of his OWN" part from that last bit when they showed it on RAW

They rarely have something that deserves this kind of special attention which is the bigger issues. I'm not asking for year round marquee matches but really trying to make a couple shows a year feel special isn't too much to ask!

"Blood, urine, and vomit. Of his own."

I didn't realize just how important that clarification is until he actually said it.

Well guess what, SamuraiFoochs, you can! For just $9.99 a month the WWE Network broadcasts every WWE Pay Per View live, including Wrestlemania and Summerslam where John Cena will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against The one in twenty one and one who conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania, Paul Heyman's Client Brock Lesnar!! Yes, WWE Network's massive VOD library not only includes future pay-per-views but also every pay-per-view ever is available for only $9.99, but did you know there's also a huge catalog of classic Raw and SmackDown episodes, as well as an extensive Vault section? Not to mention that on August 12, the WWE Network expands to 120 countries! WWE Network it's WAY over the top, but under $10!

Cena's angry default promo had done dog whistle words suggesting he turn heel and a few quasi-shoot comments to spice it up. I liked it.

Eh, it was veering into the GOLDBERG'S NOT FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT territory a little to me once he started talking about turning and not letting Brock take the title from him.

Yeah it was very Russo-esque. No one believes for a second Cena will even flirt with a heel turn, especially against Brock "I'm going to leave him in a pile of blood, and urine, and vomit...of his own." Lesnar.

What? I don't think anyone could read that as 'Cena's saying he might shoot on Brock to win', he's saying, in character, that he's prepared to cross any and all moral lines to win the match because the stakes are just that high, and he truly believes a guy like Brock shouldn't be champion under any circumstances.

I know he's on people's minds a lot but calling this russo-esque is silly because this isn't close.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

He was literally going "I know you all want me to turn" and "I'm not laying down for Brock". I wouldn't call it Russo-ish, but it was Shawn Michaels-ish during the Clique days. "I lay down for nobody!"
