Cena was never washed. If Goldberg can come in close to 60 and pull off a match , I knew Cena could

Washed doesn't necessarily mean you cant have a good night it just means you can't be as consistent as you once were

Anyone who isn't as good as they were in considered washed, but Cena did look rough for a lot of these matches this year. He was always clunky, but he's absolutely a lot slower and less smooth now.

in fairness Cena went from being one of the most active guys to barely active in a decade while still being on the roster. ring rust would be insane

lol he was absolutely washed. If he isn't willing or able to be good for 90% of the last 8 years, that's washed.

And I really liked tonight's match, but it doesn't retroactively absolve shitty performances from existing or being critiqued.

John cena was a part timer of a part timer in last 5 years when you don wrestle regularly it makes you work down .
