What's next for Cena?
 

Storyline wise I have no idea whats next for him, he just beat punk awhile ago. Who does Cena beat next? Mark Henry? Brock again? The whole roster in a handicap-match?

:cool:

To keep the rematches at big PPV theme it totally should be brock. If they wanted to be creative I'd say Cena vs Shield but then again I refuse to see Shield go out like Nexus and get fed to the machine.

I'd rather not have Brock fed to the Machine again.

Honestly, with his character so stale and boring at this point, I really don't care if he feuds with anyone. He's not the reason I tune into Raw every week, far from it in fact.

Cena vs Triple H so Triple h can have another fantastic title reign.

Company man vs Company man. If Punk was involved it was be booked with a lot of backstage politic shots...with Cena involved it will be more fart jokes and hairline insults. Still think it could work at this point because in reality.....nothing is left for John........

I'd welcome a HHH reign starting at Extreme Rulz more than Cena vs ____ for the next couple months.

that implies he had one before :p

We'll probably get Cena vs Big Show or something.

Dear God, I hope not.

Cena vs The RYBACK

at this point they could put cena vs barbaro the horse and i wouldnt be surprised

I'm over it. Friends and I have all discussed this and come to the conclusion that we just will not watch Cena segments. We'll give it a a chance to see in the beginning, you never know if something shit on paper turns out ok, but I have little faith. Just don't care.

Hate to be such a sour cynic sometimes. I'm not really the typical IWC contrarian, but this does it to me.

I can't believe how bad the commentary was last night "Cena will go down in history as the guy who could never win the big one."

I don't know what else there is for him to do now, if he didn't beat punk on raw a couple weeks ago I would say that would be the way to go but honestly now there is nothing left for him to accomplish character wise, maybe he go against taker at WM30 and the announcers say if he doesn't win the match "Cena will go down in history as the guy who could never win the big one."

like?

Nope, he should probably retire cause people on the Internet don't like his matches.

I'm fine with his matches I just don't see a suitable antagonist for him now. One that makes me say "Wow I wonder who is going to win out of these 2" The closest I see is punk but they just wrestled.

Lets say Randy turned last night and aligned with the Shield I would think "Ok this could be a new interesting feud for Cena" But no that didn't happen. Cena vs The Shield as it stands now would not help either party.

Also the 2 other people who won the big matches last night (HHH/Taker) who you could then have feud with Cena are not going to be wrestling at Extreme Rules.

My general feeling right now is "If they don't do something spectacular tonight on raw it will not be my priority to watch it anymore on monday nights"

:yes:

This. Combined with the fact that he has not changed or evolved his character/gimmick AT ALL in the last 3-4 years at least. Look at the greats (with the exception of Hogan, whose change was drastic but an anomaly) Shawn, HHH, Rock, Taker, Jericho, Austin, etc., they all gradually changed their characters, year after year, they would slowly evolve their characters. I don't feel like we've seen that in the slightest from Cena in years, he's happy being a stale mediocre character.

I think the lack of a clear cut nemesis makes Cena more intriguing... at least for now. I see Ziggler and his little group starting up with Cena again.

I would love for HHH to turn heel at some point and go at it with Cena.

John Cena will be returning to his home planet to beat back the Zorkonian invasion, expect a WWE title tournament to be announced tonight on Raw.

::Gabby Johnson "rever" to Saviors last post::

He should be forced to take a sabbatical soon before he goes insane. Seemed to be on his mind when he got all emotional after Extreme Rules last year.

Does Rey Mysterio win only to have Cena miraculously defeat the invasion and return to the show in time to challenge and beat Rey in the closing minute and 35 seconds of the show? If not, you'd be a shit booker.

I hope Cena takes on the rest of the WWE roster in a modified Royal Rumble-style battle royale.

Throw in Punk and we have a battle royal on Raw to determine #1 contender

I would say if Barrett would have retained last night could have put him in a Champion vs Champion feud or something. Really not sure where they are gonna go. Maybe a huge turn saved for tonight, who knows? We didn't see after Mania last year the whole Brock thing playing out for Cena. Christian returning as a heel? Orton gets his turn tonight? I'd rather keep Shield strong and keep Cena away during this reign. I could see them going all demise of the Nexus on them though. :(

Well, you can cross Triple H and Undertaker off the list, since they're not going to be active. The same might be said for Brock, since he is never around much. Ryback (who is boring as shit) and Jericho are both faces, and neither is likely to turn. Anything involving Mark Henry is boring as hell as well, so Cena v. Henry would lose a ton of interest. The Shield should be a group effort, so mark them off the list for now.

So that leaves Dolph Co., Swagger, Show, Barrett, and Fan-Dodge-Durango.

Mark off Show, it's been done a ton.

Swagger could be good. Dolph Co. is fairly recent, but maybe. Pulling the trigger on Barrett and pushing him is a good idea, so that works. The movie ticket guy (who can't actually dance) has zero business being involved in anything high-profile. He's had one match.

Most of the ideas aren't really appealing.

The Rhodes Scholars maybe? Push Sandow? Sandow has tons of potential, and he'd be something fresh and new.

Christian, Bryan, Fandango, Ryback, Swagger, Cody, Sandow, Wade. All pretty "fresh" options to keep him ticking over.

Cena kinda buried Dolph in their last feud, I don't want to see that again.

Kinda?

It would be kinda "LAWL" if Cena went back on his word and just brought back the spinner belt tonight on RAW.

Probably between Big Show, Mark Henry, and Ryback as the big names currently available. Had Orton turned at Mania, he would have made the most sense.

Every one else is either currently busy or Cena previously trashed in matches/feuds.

how about we all relax and see what tonight's RAW brings us.

Thus turning heel.

Again.
