They simply copy/pasted the detail-lacking version that has always been in Create an Arena. Lazy as hell. The fist looks nothing like the real fist, the shattered glass lacks detail, and so on. And they screwed up the trons, they have to switch minitron and titantron here. And in that Smackdown-name plate you usualle see the Wrestlers' titantron, but here's just the Smackdown logo...

The John Cena I grew up watching. people need to realize that "doctor of thugnomics" wasn't just an gimmick, he was actually a real life MC rapper, making lyrics takes skill and talent. John Cena was actually freestyle battle rapping people off the streets when he wasn't wrestling. And to put it John Cena didn't really need to be a celebrity, after he decide to hang up his wrestling career, he can make his own record Studios and put out albums.
