Meltz says that someone told him he wouldn't like Cena's planned mania matchup.

For the record, I'm good with Orton vs Cena. I don't remember the last big match they had, they are two of the all time greats, and as far as I can remember they never had a one on one Mania match. Kinda reminds me of HHH and Rocky. They had tons of matches, but never had that one on one match at Mania.

I'm not even sure if I watched that show.
Goldberg vs Lesnar wasnt well received in 2004, seems to be doing well now. So I wouldn't be too worried about a Cena v Orton match (if that's even the direction). We'll have to wait for more scoopz from the"reporters". Maybe once they shoot the angle, the "reporters" will break the story on the direction. Much like the hot scoop about Sasha turning heel after she cuts a hell promo on Bayley on TV. |

Honestly, they pretty much liked everything.
The girl loved John Cena. The guy kind of popped for everything, he just like the showmanship and the dedication. He got a huge kick out of it. I think he was like "holy shit" when Owens fell through the chairs, and just kind of how ridiculous all of it was. I think it was novel watching it for the first time. |

Well now that this story of a potential Orton/Cena match at Mania is breaking, I'm gonna join the "i'm down with that" bandwagon. Cena/Orton is one of my favorite contemporary feuds ever, those guys are made to work together. So yeah I'm down with that, but I don't think it's happening. I think that Cena is going to drop the title at Elimination Chamber, Wyatt get's the belt and whomever it is that causes Cena to loose is who he goes against at Mania. I'm thinking it might be Baron Corbin now, since Dave said it's a match we probably aren't going to like.

I did go back to watch the 2014 Rumble title match though, it's hilarious and the match is so bad.
2014 Rumble title match amazingly hasn't been edited. Loud Daniel Bryan chants. JBL: "I don't think the fans realise that Daniel Bryan wrestled earlier in the night. And lost!" We want Angle chants now. "You both suck" chant aimed at the Orton V Cena match. Cole, during the chant: "This crowd is electric!!!" This is slow paced and seemingly building to nothing. The only thing that got a positive reaction so far was Orton kicking Cena to stop the 5 knuckle shuffle. And rightfully so. Ref bump, STF, Orton taps out, Orton hits him with the belt, expected kickout. Prolonged un-needed waiting around, AA outta nowhere, kickout at 2. "We want refunds" chant breaks out Lawler: "Haha, you gotta love the WWE Universe, they're doing anything to distract Orton!" Orton has a stroll around the ring for a while and looks like he smelled a fart. Locks in a better STF than Cena does. Reversed into a crossface by Cena... Orton hits an AA for 2 Orton takes a year to stand up, shakes his head. Feels like more pointless delaying for some reason. Cena hits an RKO OUTTA NOWHERE for a 2 count Slowly walking to the turnbuckle for a super AA spot, blocked, another STF. Wyatts have finally shown up to a huge pop to save this tortured crowd RKO, pin, woo. |

I subscribe to the observer so when Dave told me that I may not like the match for Cena at WM, I thought he would be referring to Cena/Corbin or Cena/Orton. It's a natural thought progression, and moreover to me, it's a great idea. (Cena/Orton)

There was a rumor that Cena was pitched several ideas such as Joe, Taker or him and Nikki V Miz and Maryse.
I mean, it could be the last one. |

It won't be Cena vs Orton. It will be:
Orton vs Bray Cena/Nikki vs Miz/Maryse |

I would be very interested in having Luke Harper go over Orton and insert himself into the inevitable Orton/Wyatt clash, making it a triple threat. Sure he's kind of a nobody, more or less but his work is so fucking good, even just that one lariat to Bray made mark out during the Rumble. I think it's a cool concept, the Wyatt Fam's explosion, plus I really think that match could be great. Better than without Harper, that's for sure.

He got one of the biggest non-elimination/entrance pops at the Rumble teasing that Sister Abigal on Bray.
Even if not at Mania, I think it could be a fun feud. |

It seems like a letdown at the moment but they could, in theory, build up a story that makes Cena vs Miz feel like a big deal. Miz manages to eliminate Cena from the chamber match somehow but loses the match. Allows him to turn the cocky douchebag character up to 11 and gives him a legit gripe when he demands a title shot at WrestleMania since he beat the champion and Bryan's like "Sorry. Orton's already got the title shot." Adds heat to that feud. Miz could turn his attention to being jealous of Cena's celebrity status (which is obviously what Miz has always really wanted since before even coming to WWE) and uses eliminating Cena to at least get himself a high-profile WrestleMania match to prove he deserves all the attention. They could sell the match on promos alone. Which would be preferable to the two of them just constantly fighting each other in tag matches which will probably happen.

Cena/Miz would've made more sense if Miz had won the Rumble in chickenshit fashion, I feel.

Eh. Now that I've written it out and thought about it, I like the idea of an organic build for Cena/Miz. I think the title could add more fuel to the Wyatt-Orton match than it could Miz-Cena. If they were to book it like that, Miz-Cena would be set with no title necessary. Meanwhile, the tension built with Wyatt having the title and Orton being #1 contender would be better than just another "tag partners explode!" feud.

Cena and Miz will stem from Miz/D-Bry as Cena will get tired of Miz picking on D-Bry. #BeAStar in full effect.
Promos between Cena/Miz I would expect to be pretty good tbh. |

Cena and Orton are both the kinda guys that can have five-star matches if they're working with the right guys. It would be interesting to see what they can do together, in 2017, with both of their "legendary" statuses, especially since they haven't really had any high-profile singles matches in a few years. Just not really too excited about it possibly headlining Wrestlemania but I guess we'll see how the booking for it goes if that were the case.

Cena and Orton are two of the best ever but they've never had any chemistry together in the ring. They were just always put up against each other because for ages they were the two biggest names the company had.

I'm not entirely sure that they're not going to do Cena vs. Orton at this point, with The Wyatt Family adding a "fresh dynamic" to the feud. Orton vs. Wyatt does not feel like a WWE Title match. All signs point to it happening though.
Cena & Nikki vs. Miz & Maryse? Ugh. Cena is so much better than that at this point, but I guess it does keep Nikki out of a Women's Title program. It just kind of sucks that we need to sacrifice Cena to get that. |

They wanted Orton-Cena feuds to be their new Rock-Austin mega feud but in reality Edge fit a lot better as Cena's "Rock" rival. Even the feud with Punk came off as being better as a mega type feud than Orton-Cena feuds before it. |

According to recent rumors if Cena/Nikki vs Miz/Maryse ends up happening at Mania, it would be due to Nikki pushing for that match and as her retirement from the WWE. Wants to have a match with Cena and retire in a similar way Brie did with Mania as her final event.
Also being rumored WWE has plans to turn Roman Reigns heel after Mania which is why they want Taker-Reigns to happen. |

Orton vs Cena could work if they make it less storyline driven and more personal/rivalry driven.
THere's always the "WWE effect" when they wrestle. It's never just Orton vs Cena. |

I anticipated Goldberg would be going into Mania with a title of sorts but this is now just confusing.
I don't want to see him lose to Lesnar though it seems that way maybe for good reason: Goldberg will probably leave soon afterwards whereas Lesnar will still be back if somewhat sporadically. Or perhaps in an "out of character" moment, the two wrestler a longer and decent match, Goldberg gets the better of Lesnar once again, Lesnar reluctantly shakes Goldberg's hand as a way of saying "I had to know for myself" and that draws a line under that feud? Lesnar already had his major WM moment and even another loss to Goldberg wouldn't harm his profile. But if Goldberg did win the title at Fastlane then Orton would be facing Cena for sure? Cena v Taker would have been the dream match though. If my above scenario played out then I'd want Taker to win the belt, come out on Raw the next night and announce his retirement with him citing there's nothing left to do. Lesnar hurting from his loss to Goldberg comes out and reminds Taker of the one blemish on his record and referring to the fact Mania 34 will be back in NO, he challenges Taker to one last match at WM. Taker accepts after acknowledging he wants to avenge that defeat at WM so he can retire saying he beat all his WM opponents and like we had Rock v Cena at WM 28, we will have this confirmed a year in advance billed as Taker's last ever match. It's no coincidence Taker was involved with the promo/launch of WM 34 PR a few weeks back given the venue and I suspect this could be on the cards. |

Maybe Orton puts his title shot on the line against Taker, Wyatt seething with jealousy comes out and costs him the match. Orton then returns the favour in the EC match and the two feud with each other.
It would be ridiculous yes and in which case they ought to have allowed Taker to win the RR. I see Reigns and Strowman heading for a collision course too and maybe Reigns and Taker at a later date depending on whether he is still wrestling afterwards. |

WWE might be considering the idea of Lesnar and not Goldberg be the one to take the Universal title off of Kevin Owens. Has to do with a recent post-Fastlane card for MSG meant to be a Smackdown brand show but has a special RAW match included.
If that happens, the potential Goldberg-Lesnar Universal title match could have Lesnar as the champ and not Goldberg as previously speculated. http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/ww...se-show-229406 |

I like the idea of Lesnar getting the belt. Right now, Goldberg has little reason to continue on with Lesnar. Put a belt on him, and the "one more run" as champ goal for Goldberg all of sudden presents itself, with Lesnar/Heyman using the title as a way to lure Goldberg into one more match.
Lesnar wins, great. He's a dominant champ and the belt becomes special again because he's only showing up for the big fights. Goldberg wins? Great. He's s dominant champ and the belt becomes special again because he's only showing up for the big fights. |
