Early John Cena.
I'd rather watch a Wyatt match in 2023 than a 2010 John Cena match.

I first read this and was like "ain't no fukking way that's true"

Which I was correct, but I really had to do some digging, back to 2017. He went 26 minutes with Roman Reign on 6/5/17 on Raw then in May of that same year he went 14 minutes with Seth Rollins and 15 minutes with Dean Ambrose, both also on Raw. All three were non-gimmick matches. Had a 16-minute bout with Orton at No Mercy in 2016.

Looks like they mostly said fukk it with him putting in time in the ring after his string of somewhere between 15-20 normal 12+ minute matches from 2014-15 that I am just going to assume were mostly mediocre to bad.

the fact that you gotta go back 6 years :dead:

Nah...... nah....
I watched him vs. KO, and bell to bell, it was the same match he's been having since the Shield days. Same 5 moves, no innovation. Heel, face, opponent. Nothing matters. Same shyt, that wasn't great to begin with. He's just booked even stronger:comeon:, and is surrounded by great talent (especially Heyman) to fool people into thinking he's no longer ass. They just made him a monster heel so the boos and dislike make sense. Who needs an entire faction to get over?

Agree with everyone who said Wyatt

I’ll give another answer that is a bit out there… but post WWE title run AJ Styles. He’s clearly a step slower and coasting now. His matches have been average at best
