Next week’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown was taped at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI, after Friday’s SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman did a promo ahead of Sikoa’s match against John Cena at Crown Jewel. Cena was then interrupted by Sikoa and was laid out. In his own promo, Cena mentioned AEW commentator Taz while criticizing Sikoa. He said,
“We all know that the only reason you got a job here is because of your cousin. We all see you walking around thinking you’re some big bada** enforcer when you’re nothing but a bargain basement Taz ripoff!”

John Cena recently made headlines with his comments about Solo Sikoa, his opponent at the upcoming Crown Jewel event. During a promo on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Cena criticized Sikoa, mentioning AEW commentator Taz and calling Sikoa a “bargain basement Taz ripoff.”
The incident occurred during a promo segment where Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman were discussing their upcoming match against John Cena. Cena interrupted the promo and proceeded to lay out Sikoa. In his own promo, Cena took a shot at Sikoa, implying that the only reason he has a job in WWE is because of his cousin.
Cena’s comments about Sikoa being a “bargain basement Taz ripoff” have sparked a lot of discussion among wrestling fans. Taz is a former professional wrestler and current commentator for All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Cena’s comparison suggests that Sikoa is trying to emulate Taz’s persona but falls short in his attempt.
The mention of AEW and Taz in Cena’s promo adds an interesting element to the ongoing competition between WWE and AEW. Both companies have been vying for viewership and fan loyalty, and this reference could be seen as Cena taking a jab at AEW indirectly.
It’s worth noting that Cena’s comments are part of the scripted nature of professional wrestling. Promos like these are designed to generate excitement and anticipation for upcoming matches. They often involve wrestlers exchanging verbal insults and engaging in confrontations to build up the storyline leading to their match.
