So this isn't a thread to cause anger, or problems, just curious as to what everyone thinks.
I was in another conversation today on another site and this topic came up. And the whole "work or legit" topic came up, so I am curious to see what everyone thinks.
Was this child on Raw a plant by the WWE? Cena was the first to notice the child and it was during a promo that was to make Cena cheered and Owens booed. I am not saying the kid doesn't have cancer but was that staged for Cena to acknowledge him?
Also, did any other wrestler acknowledge that child after Cena did?
Again, this isn't me trolling or trying to cause a problem, just curious as to what everyone thinks regarding that scenario last night.

I'd like to think that it was just coincidence, and he wasn't specifically put there, or I should say in a place of prominence, to help Cena not get booed.
BUT, this is WWE, and Vince McMahon IS still running it, so, sadly, it's not completely out of the realm of plausibility...

I know there's pictures of Cena bringing the kid into the ring after the show and doing taunts with him.
Cena's nothing if not a master improviser. He's known to pull his pops from whatever he sees, and make them all seem natural. But it could have just as easily been a Make a Wish kid or something. No clue.
Moment of the kids life for sure I would imagine though.

Probably a Make A Wish kid. You don't think WWE are that sadistic right?
Well...

Best back to back promos I've seen in a while.

I thought it was awkward that Cena used gender non-specific terms because he wasn't sure.

Don't think the kid was a plant.
That being said, I kind of wish that Cena didn't point him out during the promo. It made it impossible for Kevin Owens to retaliate. Bringing the kid into the ring after the show was completely fine and I love that Cena did that, but that should have been all.

Bringing the kid into the ring after the show was completely fine and I love that Cena did that, but that should have been all. I feel like it added another level of drama to the match. After hearing Owens' promo I felt like Owens had to win at MITB. I wanted him to win so bad. I felt like back to back victories had the potential to usher in a new era of wrestling. After Cena's promo I felt like Cena couldn't lose. For me, really the whole exchange was perfect and this Cena/ Owens program is the best, most compelling program I've seen in a while. I want them to work Owens son into it. |

There's no way it was a plant, cena said young person ( wich sounded a little odd but makes sense) because he wasn't sure , if the kid was a plant cena would have said boy or girl.

Regardless of what it was, he most likely made that kid's life.

I think it was real and it was a very cool thing for Cena to do. You could tell the kid and his mother were fighting back tears as soon as Cena acknowledged them. It was nice.

I think it was like the experience that Triple H and HBK once had with a guy with Down's Syndrome. They brought him in after the show and they taunted with him. There's a video somewhere on YouTube with footage.

I figured it was a Make A Wish kid. If you watch the John Cena Experience documentary, he usually meets the kids at the arena the day of the show. Then they are his guest & sit ringside. While I don't think he was a plant, I wouldn't be surprised if Cena knew right where he was sitting.
Regardless, it was a very cool acknowledgement & meant the world to that kid.

I think Cena is just really good at thinking on his feet and working stuff into his promos. A few weeks ago he called out a dude in the crowd wearing a hockey jersey in the middle of his promo, unless you think that guy was a plant too.

Definitely not a plant and I dont think it was from Make A Wish. I think it was a legit kid just sitting in the arena with his/her sign.

It was just a normal girl who came to watch Raw, and you can tell that it absolutely made her life, because she couldn't stop crying. Cena is a class act. Say what you want about the guy, but there's no denying that he cares about the fans, and especially his younger ones. Don't think the kid was a plant. That being said, I kind of wish that Cena didn't point him out during the promo. It made it impossible for Kevin Owens to retaliate. Bringing the kid into the ring after the show was completely fine and I love that Cena did that, but that should have been all. I personally felt like it added the whole "be a real man" stuff, like he was saying that the kid is about 9 and already more of a man than Owens. |
