Cena added another tally in his favor, but Orton was the better man in the latest match of their timeless feud

To be fair to Cena, this is a new era, where fans are more looped in than ever to the pro wrestling process. Everyone seems to know the heel turn can’t last, perhaps ending as soon as the summer at SummerSlam. That way, the tail end of his goodbye to the sport can be as a good guy again.

John Cena beat Randy Orton at WWE Backlash in St. Louis, which could indicate Cena's nearing retirement. R-Truth's interference led to Cena's win with a low blow and belt strike.
