Pre-Show Stalwart
At Survivor Series, Nexus leader Wade Barrett will once again clash with WWE Champion Randy Orton for sports-entertainments top prize in a match officiated by none other than John Cena. As stipulated by Raws anonymous General Manager, there will be no count-outs and no disqualifications in this high-stakes encounter.
Barrett earned the right to choose the special guest referee in this WWE Title rematch on Monday Night Raw, when his intervention in a bout between Cena and Orton led to The Vipers disqualification. Ultimately, Barrett chose Cena to don the black-and-white stripes, decreeing that if Cena raises Barretts hand in victory at Survivor Series, the nine-time World Champion will be freed from The Nexus.
However, if the Nexus leader doesnt win, then Cena will be fired. As much as Barretts motives run contrary to Cenas basic virtues of hustle, loyalty and respect, being partial to Barrett in this bout will guarantee the Legendary star his freedom. Defiance will result in Cena saying farewell to the WWE Universe once and for all.
Should Cena award Barrett the WWE Title at Survivor Series, this will be the second time he has helped The Nexus capture championship gold. At WWE Bragging Rights, Cena shockingly teamed up with David Otunga to win the WWE Tag Team Titles, championships that were later turned over to fellow arm-banded rebels Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater. This victory has only fueled Barretts thirst for the WWE Title and the power that comes with it.
Even though the odds are clearly stacked against Orton, The Viper a six-time WWE Champion has established himself as one of the most dominant and dangerous competitors in WWE history. As the critically injured Chris Jericho and any number of Superstars can attest, one does not tempt the animalistic aggression of WWEs Apex Predator.
With liberation from The Nexus on the line, will Cena help Barrett win his first WWE Title? Or will a three-count for Orton signal the end of Cenas WWE career? Find out by tuning in to Survivor Series, Nov. 21, only on pay-per-view.
Let's keep all discussions/predictions for this match in here. I will start it out by posting some of my thoughts below.
This is interesting. I didn't expect WWE to go for the "be all, end all" this early in the Cena/Nexus story. But the stipulations made here clearly show that they are planning on ending the plot at Survivor Series.
I think this is going to turn out to be the easiest match of the night to call. Wade Barrett is pretty much guaranteed to win the championship here. I think WWE is banking more on how it will go down as opposed to will it go down. We will have a title change in opinion. And for a few reasons I believe:
1. They won't "fire" John Cena, not even in the "send him to Smackdown!" way.
2. Barrett is the prominently featured superstar for both the promo poster and video for the entire ppv.
3. Supposedly, Barrett was scheduled to actually take the strap at Bragging Rights but plans changed at the last minute. I could only imagine they changed because creative had this match with these stipulations in mind.
4. The big money match is clearly Barrett/Cena and adding a title to the mix will make it even more exciting and hot than it already is.
5. Not entirely sure where Orton would go from here but pretty damn positive that WWE is over this particular Orton championship run.
What do you guys think?
