John Cena has a submission match against The Big Show at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on June 7, so it wasn’t difficult to figure out the finish of Cena’s match against Ted DiBiase Jr. on WWE Superstars Thursday night.
Of course Cena won with the STF, but while the finish was predictable, the match itself was intriguing because it pitted WWE’s biggest star against one of its most promising young stars.
The two worked well together and, more importantly, DiBiase again proved in this showcase match that he has “it” inside the ring.
Despite having a little less than three years experience, the 26-year-old DiBiase already wrestles like a seasoned veteran. If he can develop his character, he will be the future superstar that many in WWE think he can be, and Cena-DiBiase will be headlining pay-per-views and not just WWE Superstars.
DiBiase’s detractors have pointed out his lack of charisma, but I remember that’s what some people used to say about Randy Orton. It’s funny how I don’t hear that too much anymore.
