Okay so the 1000th episode of the Raw is coming to us in about five weeks, the companies poster boy Cena is obviously going to have a big role on this pinnacle episode. What I think Cena is going to do over the next few weeks is once again become WWE champion. Yes I said he could be WWE champion again! Read Along and see what I think WWE can do 🙂
This is partly what I Wish Happens for the Main Story Line going into Summerslam 2012.
The thing is…WWE seem to be dragging on with the Punk and Daniel Bryan feud for just a bit too long now and seem to be running out of ideas segment wise, hell yeah were getting good matches but still at Money in the bank it will be the third PPV in the row these two face each other. That’s boring to see it again. I think WWE should use the MiTB once again to start a generic feud were one cashes in and somewhat an argument (what I would like to say) happens between the former champ(s) and the one who cashed in.
It needs to be done so then we get a new main storyline. We have Summerslam the second biggest PPV for WWE, well in my mind and sure it is. Anyways WWE need to figure out a big storyline for the pay per view then. Having Cena win this former champion’s money in the bank ladder match announced on 6/25/12 Raw, it could spark something big.
IF he does win it could make the atmosphere for Punk vs DB change instantly as well, making us think if Cena will cash in or not in the PPV. Preferably after an amazing match it would be nice if DB wins the title and gets cashed in on BUT this should be done properly, because he has lost it in 18 seconds before. Punk can be cashed in on as well since he has a great reign but DB would no longer be a contender and triple threat in my opinion looks cooler and better to watch, maybe it’s just me.
So then Cena becoming champion on July 15th does here is
- Create a new storyline, like I keep saying.
- Champions still face into 1000th Raw. So WWE can promote well for the show etc and sell their tickets.
- Potentially Twener vs Heel vs Face feud is created. Which can have so much flame in it, WWE really just need to pull a trigger and go with it.
An angry Punk who wants to reclaim worlds best and ‘his’ title which allows him to be so, DB screwing himself up again and then Cena happily being himself and defending his glory which is the WWE title. All this kicks on a week before the 1000th show and then WWE can be excellent with their promo’s and create something big.
Summerslam is a PPV which WWE needs to generate money with and it also part of the beginning of 3rd quarter if i’m right? So they would see Cena and Punk generating $$$$$$ from kids, along with adults who can cheer both DB and Punk. I won’t go into this so fully because it might not even happen. So I would love you to comment!
To be honest as well, when Cena says he’s going to do something- 90% of the time he does do it. And on Raw 6/25/12 he mentioned it’s been a year since he won the title and he’s craving for it. So I simply think he will cash in on MiTB and WWE need to work their magic.
Please comment and discuss your opinion on Cena possibly becoming WWE champion again.
Thanks for the read!

Sorry but I will never get bored watching CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan.
It wouldn’t benefit Bryan in a triple threat IMO. For the story to be good it’s best to have all the focus and attention on WWE’s top two full time wrestlers. It would bring out a new side to Punk as he’s chasing the title back.
I know from reading various sites that many are in agreement with Cena having the title for 1000th show, I however am not. WWE are trying so hard to push Punk and having him lose the belt for arguable WWE’s most important Raw show makes no sense IMO.
Punk with the title isn’t boring fans, there is still much more he can feud with before dropping it.

But SummerSlam is a huge PPV though..I really don’t see anyone else vs Punk unless Ziggler does an amazing promo or something. Punk has established himself enough and Cena is the biggest guy etc…I don’t see a problem as I said.

Imo the issue is that if they put the title back on Cena it shows Punk has failed. I mean if you put the title back on Cena after winning MITB with him taking it off Punk without any sort of feud then what does that say? “Sorry Punk, we gave you the ball to run with, but now that Cena’s finished with Rock and Lesnar he’s getting it again.” It demotes Punk to very much being a supporting player as opposed to one of the main guys that the WWE are trying to push him as.
Imo, I’d have have Jericho win MITB then have him fail in cashing it in. Jericho’s touring with Fozzy soon-ish and if he’s having a moderately long lay-off it allows Punk to gain the prestige of retaining after a cash in (not to mention adding another accolade for Jericho’s CV in winning MITB). After Jericho leaves crestfallen around Summerslam, (again, giving a decisive ending to the Punk/Jericho thing which was really poorly ended imo, they just kinda drifted apart).
After the Jericho/Punk MITB attempted cash in, then you enter Punk in a feud with Cena for the title. Let him drop it in a proper feud, as well as giving him a couple of clean defences on PPV before inevitably dropping it back to Cena. Makes them look like equals if Punk beats Cena clean then Cena takes it from Punk to more casual viewers as over the last few months Cena’s programs and feuds have been placed above the WWE title.
Cena regains the title, Punk’s elevated being more on par and importance with Cena. Everyone wins.
OR…they have Cena win MITB and have him cash in after a gruelling match that Punk has had and Cena turns heel. I can dream right?
I hope the above makes some sort of semblance of sense, was rushing a bit!

I really think my idea would work if DB and Punk had an amazing match…Y2J should not go near Punk, they somewhat ruined the old feud and these WWE writers can do so well, well I think.

I fail to see the logic. Raw MITB is likely to be the main event, so there wouldn’t be an opportunity for Cena to run in. Not to mention that even if Punk/Bryan was the main event and they tore the house down, the match is going to be detracted by the crowd wondering about Cena cashing it in.
If he does it’s going to overshadow the fantastic main event that they’ve just witnessed because of Cena winning it cheaply. Either way, I wouldn’t really be in favour of Cena cashing in after the MITB PPV (in fact, I suspect that Big Show/Cena are going to cost each other the match, just my own feeling on it!).
I would not trust the WWE creative team with anything, sorry to disagree!

I really think WWE is done with Cena as champion until he turns heel if ever. If WWE were to do Cena for champion again I would have hoped it would be at Money in the Bank. Cena as challenger going for CM Punk. Weren’t we here last year? Do we want to do this again? For this belt proving I’m the best, hell yeah I’ll do it again and I’ll kick your ass like I did last year. Oh but will you take your ball and go home so you get more money when you should be out there night after night proving you’re the best…

Long time no chat WM, how’s it going?
The ONLY good thing about putting Cena as champ is it would make the belt important again as he’s the ‘man’ and it’ll be the main event. Good for Punk when/if he regains it too.

Hey hey Ray. Cena is as done being a champ as HHH, Kane and Big Show. He’s above the championship and doesn’t need it. Unless he were to turn heel and screw over whatever current champ it is. The belt is important… just not as important as someone who’s been around a decade. The belt can be in the main event and Punk can be the man… when the man disappears. Just like James Storm can be the man when Sting disappears.

EXACTLY! Therefore by him winning it would re-establish the prestige of the WWE title and it’ll be the main event again.
The WWE title should always be the main event and so what if he has had it multiple times. Like, all dominant sports teams will never stop trying to win the big prize in their respective sports, it should be the same in WWE with the WWE title. It’s what makes it prestige.

No no… having him win would send the net into a hardcore bitchfest… but make the kids happy and you know kids tell their friends while netters stay in the closet. Plus kids get their parents to come to events so you’ve sold 2 tickets and parents buy their kids a lot of stuff.
Titles should be on people that need them. Like a spotlight… because guys that are above the title are their own spotlights. We will always care about John Cena, HHH, the Rock, Taker and so on. I’m not sure Cena would bring any prestiege holding it for 11 times. He didn’t bring any prestiege holding the belt for almost an entire year back a few years ago.
Anyway… Cena is at the top of the escalator and should get off…

Cena cashing in the MITB briefcase could make for an interesting scenario. I mean, surely the stand up, face of the company wouldn’t sink so low as to take advantage of the champ after an attack or something. Of course, how many times has Cena been cashed in on himself? Perhaps he wants to make getting vengeance for those times, fun.

It would be good for the whole MITB concept if he does win and fails to succeed when he cashes it in. Nobody has lost cashing in so far, what better way to break the streak by having WWE’s biggest asset lose first?

Cena can afford to take abuse. He will be where he always is. He can afford to lose clean once a month in a believable way as long as WWE follows through and elevates the guys he loses to. He can even afford to majorly put someone over once per year like he did for Punk last year…. the catch is Cena has to disappear afterward, but I guess you won’t sell seats and merchandise then…

Punk didn’t even beat Cena clean though. Vince McMahon attempted to screw him Montreal style (in storyline), Cena went nuts, Punk captalised. And since Punk’s reign really started he’s always been secondary to the feud Cena’s having, which is bullshit. I’m sorry, but the World title matches should ALWAYS be the focus of the show and the main events in PPVs. Everything should support the title to make it seem like a big deal. Nowadays the title is just a prop to get someone over, make it mean something!
At least in TNA the champion is involved in the main feuds. He hasn’t been superseded by anything and as a result it’s made Roode “The Man” in TNA. You get the feeling that everyone is gunning for him and he’s at the top. WWE should take note in my opinion.
The knock on effect of the world title meaning less is that the titles under are devalued. I mean seriously, who cares who the US Champion and the IC champions are? If they really want the IC/US titles to mean something put them on main eventers who are on the outskirts of the title scenario. Make Kane the US champ and have him feud with someone who is somebody. Christian’s a good call as IC champ but have him feud with someone who is a proven entity to build the belt back up. Make the IC/US brand exclusive. If you want a cross over title, revive the European title and put it on Santino if he must have a belt. But if you want a way to kill a title have the champion have a Tuxedo match with a ring-announcer on PPV -_-.

Workmancer – Cena isn’t going anywhere for at least 2 or 3 three years. He is the perfect guy for them. Ever since the Benoit tragedy WWE have been super careful with what they’re putting out. It nearly killed the wrestling industry and whether people realize it or not, it’s still recovering as we speak.
As much as Cena is important to WWE, in the long run….the WWE title is more important. At the moment it’s lost credibility due to it not being the number one focus. At least with Cena having the belt, it will be number one focus. It would bring Punk up to the real main event too.

The main reason I don’t want Cena to win the championship is mainly because Cena will then be the ENTIRE main event. Cena is already the PPV closer, at least guys like punk, bryan, Kane are in their own main event. Don’t make everything evolve around Cena.
And besides, while the punk/ Bryan storyline is ‘dragging out’ they are having stellar matches, so… Cena V Show or Punk v Bryan… Hmmmmm
