The 1-2-3 Killam
Mid-Card Championship Winner
For several months I've heard nothing but "will _____ be the next face of the WWE?" It seems that people are jumping for whoever is getting a push at the time, and subjecting them to the IWCs opinions of whether they are worthy or not. I don't blame anyone, as we live in an age where WWE doesn't build new characters into the Hall of Fame, they just tell us directly that they're going to be the next big thing. Literally. ANd we're supposed to just accept that and play along with what they want. It's not longer based on whether the fans react to a superstar, but whether Vince wants to push him down our throats. So it's not really the IWCs fault that we're so eager to find the next big thing...but I digress...
The thing I wanted to address is John Cena. He's been the face of the company for years now, and people seem eager to find the next one. But Cena is still young, he's still drawing millions of dollars more than anybody else, and I don't think he's going anywhere any time soon. However, that doesn't mean he won't stop being the face of the company. Shawn Michaels carried the WWF back in the day, but during the later parts of his career he was there to put people over. So, my question is... is it premature to think a new face should be emerging to lead the WWE, or is John Cena on his way out of the spotlight? If he is, who has the best chance of coming out as the next big thing?
