Assuming this handbrake 180 isn’t a swerve…what a sad waste of time this John Cena heel turn was.

No narrative pathos, direction, or emotional payoff, and only Cena turning up, doing his best to get people to invest in his heel persona despite it feeling forced and contrived.

With Burden getting its first review and Steen receiving another 5*, as well as rocketing to #1 (!), I figured the past few days are worth celebrating with a cold one!

Steen is still *free* (for now), so don’t delay!
