The high-flying Paul launched out of nowhere and tried his best to land a sellable punch to Cena\u2019s chin. Instead, Paul completely missed the mark and ended up botching the entire setup.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As a result, the WWE production team was forced to re-shoot the backstage encounter from a different angle and give Paul a better chance of selling the bit. Unfortunately, that also came out looking a little phony because Paul walked right in front of Cena to ruin the \u201csurprise.\u201d It didn\u2019t leave WWE with many options. When it was all said and done, the first attempt aired on Netflix and the second attempt aired on TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Check out both angles below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As anticipated, social media had a field day with Paul\u2019s WWE snafu.
