John Cena's RAW Promo Receives Backstage Heat

John Cena's mocking of Michael Cole during last week's Raw did not go over well backstage. Brian Gewirtz scripted the promo and the general feeling is that he was playing to Vince, rather than doing what is best for the segment.

Vince is known for being tough on Cole, and Gewirtz used the promo to improve his relationship with the boss. Vince hasn't spent much time with the creative team lately, so it wouldn't be surprising if more stunts like this were to happen by writers to get in Vince's good graces again.

There's no heat against Cena for the promo, but there is on Gewirtz, who already had a bad reputation to begin with. Most members of the locker room view Gewirtz as a "nerd", and feel the only reason Vince likes him so much is because he has no life and can devote all his time to WWE.
