John Cena recently spoke to Sam Roberts on Notsam Wrestling where he revealed that the mastermind behind the story of this match was WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brock Lesnar himself. Here is what Cena had to said to Sam Roberts on Notsam Wrestling;
“I think the reason I still had that perspective is…I’m using Brock as an example only because it fits the narrative,” Cena said. “Brock was taken from OVW and pushed into being champion immediately. I was given an opportunity at the beginning, and then became enhancement talent. Even when I reidentified myself as a hip-hop artist or a rapper, I was an enhancement talent. I had a two-year understudy of ‘This is your job. This is the story.’

“Arn Anderson, I remember, [said] ‘It’s just not your night kid. The story is for this.’ So I have great equity in, my piece is to make this interesting. Brock is one of the most giving performers when it’s his time, and he will make anyone look great.
“But I remember Brock being like hey, you know, I had dinner with Steve Austin last night and we came up with this idea where I just start suplexing you and don’t stop, and then beat you.’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘What do you mean?’ I said, well, we both collectively agreed that you just beat The Streak. We ruin that if we have a 50-50 match.”
Brock Lesnar’s second run was mostly established after breaking the streak at WrestleMania XXX which everybody loves to believe. But John Cena played a vital role in building Brock Lesnar as one of the top star. This match is not much remembered anymore but it will always remembered as of the most shocking WWE matches ever.
