To answer the question we've been wondering since Elimination Chamber, no, Cena didn't come out to new entrance music or with new music, and while I'm not a fan of him not changing up anything about his presentation now that he's a heel, I appreciated that he at least attempted to explain why that's the case. On the whole, this was strong stuff. He was whiner than I would've liked, but it was better than him either staying silent or doing the same shtick he's been doing on the mic for years. He got phenomenal heat from this crowd, too. I just wish this turn would've happened years ago when it made more sense. He and Rhodes had a good verbal exchange for as long as it lasted, but it barely scratched the surface of what they're capable of, which was probably the point with a month to go until WrestleMania 41.

​Throughout the history of professional wrestling, certain Superstars inherently exhibit more charisma and a particular special charm and skill when embodying one persona over another—whether it be the dastardly, cunning heel or the noble, heroic face. Hulk Hogan serves as a prime example of a wrestler who spent a considerable part of his career primarily portrayed as a face. However, given Hogan's complex history, it often appeared that this role was more of a forced persona rather than a more naturally created one. Thus, when he infamously turned Heel at the 1996 WCW Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, it marked a pivotal moment that would ultimately become one of the most iconic moments in the brief yet impactful history of WCW and professional wrestling as a whole!

Thank you for joining me on this brief journey through wrestling history to illustrate an idea that captures the essence of this article. Now, let’s shift our focus back to the central theme at hand. Without further ado, here’s my list of top wrestling superstars who showcased more charisma as Faces. It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean they never turned heel; rather, they are primarily remembered for their roles as faces—much like John Cena (similar to Hogan, who was portrayed as a forced face and later shockingly turned heel). It's crucial to clarify that this list isn't necessarily ranked in terms of in-ring ability or even superstar popularity, but rather in terms of who I believe exhibits more charisma as a face and connects with the fans most that way—along with their overall impact on the business.

Shibata taking part in this tournament gave it some actual international flavor, but there was never uncertainty surrounding the outcome to this contest. He's one-third of The Opps right now, whereas Ricochet needed to bounce back following his loss to Swerve Strickland at Revolution. This was a well-worked opener, but I could've done without those weak-ass looking slaps Ricochet hit Shibata with.

For the love of God, get Knight the hell away from the Bloodline scraps. It feels like he's been stuck in an endless loop with them for the last year and a half. His promo started out well enough, but the segment went downhill once Uso, Sikoa, Fatu and Tonga came out. Uso and Sikoa screwed up some of their lines, but their funny flubs were unfortunately edited out by the time it aired on USA Network (I watched earlier in the day on Netflix with a VPN when it aired live internationally). The six-man tag team match was standard stuff, but the crowd was into the action.

Aztec Warriors consisted of Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. I don't know if they were already a team or if this is a new pairing, but they worked well together here. This was a fairly basic pre-match, but it was serviceable while it lasted and gave First Class a win. I'm surprised this wasn't advertised or built up in advance, unless it was and I just completely missed it.
