John Cena beating Muhammad Hassan makes Cena look like the best the WWE has to offer. That is a pretty good set-up to Jericho or Christian beating Cena at Vengeance, IMO.

It makes Christian or Jericho look like the real deal, which is what the WWE needs to do with both of them urgently. Cena winning gets the 7-12 year olds off, but ultimately does nothing for the product. Who is Cena going to face at Summerslam? Triple H? It could happen, but who then will Jericho & Christian face?

Personally I think they'll have either Jericho or Christian win, have the winner face Cena at Summerslam, and the loser has a match with Triple H, turning face, before facing the guy that beat them in a "Grudge Match" at Unforgiven or something, whether that's for the title or not.

If Cena truly is the "Lord and Saviour" of the WWE, he should be able to give heels the rub by losing to them, while still keeping fans in the due process. It doesn't have to be a clean win for the heel either. A win is a win in Triple Threats, and it might actually make Cena look stronger to lose the title.

Cena vs. Jericho is a feud too good to give-up. You can't really continue it in a logical way if you have Cena retain the title at Vengeance. You could have Cena pin Christian, but that just makes Christian look weak, and doesn't give off the same effect as Jericho beating the fuck out of Cena with a steel chair, before hitting a Lionsault and pinning him. Neither does Jericho wanting to prove he can beat Cena after Cena pins Y2J cleanly.

I would even prefer to see Jericho and Christian both school boy Cena at the same time, leading to the title being vacated and an Elimination Chamber at Summerslam. John Cena vs. Chris Jericho vs. Triple H vs. Kurt Angle vs. Shelton Benjamin/Kane vs. Christian for the WWE Championship. Crazier things have happened.

Two successful major Title defenses at Vengeance isn't the way to go, IMO. Maybe it's just me, but when a wrestler retains the belt, it sort of makes the match seem pointless (unless it has a REALLY good story to go with it). Batista and Cena going over at Vengeance would seem like wasted energy, to me at least. If you're going to put two major titles on the line at a show, make sure at least one of them changes hands, and Batista losing the title to Triple H makes little-to-no sense at all.

I respect everyone's opinion, but unless the WWE has plans on keeping Jericho and Christian as directionless mid-carders, and having a narrow-scope main event division, Cena should really drop the belt to help establish a new major heel.
