On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, John Cena was a special guest on ‘The Grayson Waller Effect.’ Waller did what most would consider cringy material for the majority of the segment, with Cena not saying a word.
Cena did not seem in the mood to talk, and it eventually seemed as though The Champ was ready to get physical with Waller. However, Jimmy Uso soon interrupted the proceedings. As he entered the ring, Jimmy got in Cena’s face and snatched away his mic, saying that no one wants him there. He added that unless Cena had something important to say or do, he should get off Jimmy’s show. Jimmy continued to rant before Solo Sikoa’s theme music hit.
Solo, flanked by a visibly confused and scared Paul Heyman (due to interactions earlier in the night), also entered the ring, getting right in Cena’s face. Solo then turned around, stepped away, and suddenly grabbed Jimmy. He feigned a Samoan Spike, before taking out Cena with a Superkick. Jimmy then began to laugh and joined Solo in beating down Cena as Grayson Waller watched on.
AJ Styles rushed to the ring to make the save, after Jimmy Uso had cost him his match against Finn Balor earlier in the night. Cena and Styles proceeded to fight back and took out the heels, with Solo retreating. Cena had Jimmy up on his shoulders for an Attitude Adjustment, but Solo yanked Jimmy off Cena’s shoulders per Paul Heyman’s orders. Cena and Styles shook hands and hugged as SmackDown went off the air.
The dynamic amongst The Bloodline and associates, The Judgement Day, John Cena, The O.C., and to an extent Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes, seems to be ripening.

The latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured a special guest appearance by none other than John Cena. However, Cena did not have much to say during his time on ‘The Grayson Waller Effect’ segment. Instead, Waller delivered what many would consider cringy material, while Cena remained silent.
As the segment progressed, it became evident that Cena was not in the mood to talk and was ready to get physical with Waller. However, before things could escalate, Jimmy Uso made his way to the ring and confronted Cena. Jimmy got in Cena’s face and took away his microphone, stating that nobody wanted him there. He further added that unless Cena had something important to say or do, he should leave Jimmy’s show. Jimmy continued his rant until Solo Sikoa’s theme music hit.
Solo, accompanied by a visibly confused and scared Paul Heyman, entered the ring and confronted Cena face-to-face. After a brief exchange, Solo turned around, stepped away, and suddenly attacked Cena with a Superkick, feigning a Samoan Spike. Jimmy joined Solo in beating down Cena as Grayson Waller watched on.
However, the situation took a turn when AJ Styles rushed to the ring to make the save. Earlier in the night, Jimmy Uso had cost Styles his match against Finn Balor. Cena and Styles fought back against the attackers and managed to take out the heels, with Solo retreating. Cena had Jimmy Uso up on his shoulders for an Attitude Adjustment, but Solo yanked Jimmy off Cena’s shoulders as per Paul Heyman’s orders. The segment concluded with Cena and Styles shaking hands and hugging as SmackDown went off the air.
This incident seems to be adding complexity to the ongoing dynamics between various factions in WWE. The Bloodline and their associates, The Judgement Day, John Cena, The O.C., and even Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes are all part of this evolving storyline.
