I agree with El Santo. I respect both CyNick and KoOS, but I really can't see how narrowing the scope helps Cena in any way.
Stone Cold Steve Austin won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XIV, then lost it in June of '98. Cena wouldn't be in a disadvantaged position.
Guys shouldn't need the top title to be made. They should be made to have the top title. Cena has lost before, and it creates moe of a connection to the fans if he loses things occasionally. He lost the US Title twice, once to Carlito and once to Orlando Jordan. NEITHER had any real build-up, yet Cena losing to them made them look either credible, or losing to them didn't harm anyone.
If the fans care about Cena or Batista, they will buy their merchandise after they haven't been stuck on Heat or Velocity. By just winning the WWE Title, Cena has the attention of the fans, and if he is the "megastar" of the WWE, he can lose the title without being damaged AT ALL.
And like El Santo said, that is the point of a Triple Threat. It makes any title change for a heel look semi-fluky, and it allows for the face to chase the heel in an entertaining journey for a rematch. Jericho and Cena can easily steal the show with their promos and easily steal the show with their matches, and they could have one of the best chase feuds of all time if let to cut loose. That could do more good for Cena than any win could.
