John Cena Apologizes to Brussels Fan on SmackDown in Lyon

The gesture underscores his return to babyface status on his farewell tour ahead of Clash in Paris.

Overview

  • During a live promo with Logan Paul, Cena left the ring to address the child he had singled out in March and said, "I am sorry, I was having a bad day."
  • The moment referenced his March 17 RAW heel promo in Brussels where he called the crowd's bond with him a "toxic, dysfunctional relationship" and pointed at the kid.
  • WWE shared footage of the exchange from the fan's point of view after the broadcast.
  • The segment doubled as build for Cena vs. Paul at Clash in Paris on August 31, featuring trash talk in French and Cena calling Paul a "dickhead."
  • The apology follows Cena's shift back to a babyface role after dropping the WWE title to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
