Anyone else surprised that the WWE rushed this big-matchup in Cena vs Lashley so quickly at TGAB 2007? Cena was in the middle of his never ending reign, while Lashley was being pushed as the next big thing. It was clear that Lashley was being groomed to be the "1-B" to Cenas "1-A," yet this match seemed to come out of nowhere.
In hindsight it was the right move to rush it and have Cena go over, as he'd be injured shortly after and gone from the company within 6 months, but at the time it was mind blowing to me that the WWE rushed this potential future WM main event. Both guys had a ton of momentum, but to have Cena beat him clean seemed to be the wrong move at the time. It was a pretty good bout for two heavyweights, but had the potential to be so much more than it was.
Anyone else surprised at the timing of the match and how Cena went over clean?
