“It was really fun to look at,” Cena stated. “It was like searching at myself within the mirror. Carl’s always a higher road guy, and Smoke’s just attempting to stir everyone up like he always does. I had been impressed using the way Carl handled the ultimate media week prior to the final race. It had been type of such as the Tony Stewart of old. That’s really why I found like Tony too. He’d run his mouth, but he’d support it, and there’s something to become stated for your.
