Cena to smackdown

[salomon1080s]

I've been reading on a few threads that posters believe it's going to be cena vs edge at wm25 but does that mean john cena is going to smackdown if it pretty much seems triple h is going to raw? Personally i feel it's a bad idea for john cena to leave raw. what do you think of the possibility john cena, wwe top draw, going to smackdown?

 

[muxiroger]

Personally, I have wished for Cena to goto Smackdown at last year's draft. I feel he has all but run out of feuds on Raw and if he goes to Smackdown he can have feuds with Kozlov, Jeff Hardy, and the Undertaker. The fans would chew up a match between Cena and the Undertaker, the company's two top faces. I can't imagine who would go over who, but have it end in 2009's HIAC match. It could easily be feud of the year.

It's certainly a possibility, especially with the draft being almost immediately after Wrestlemania. Right now, a safe assumption for the title matches are Triple H vs. Orton and Edge vs. Cena. They could have Orton, Trips, Edge, AND Cena ALL appearing on both RAW AND Smackdown up until Wrestlemania. At mania I see Cena beating Edge and Orton beating Triple H. Then, in order to get a champion back on SD!, Cena could be traded. Hell, if they wanted, they could send Cena to SD! and Triple H to RAW, and that way both rivalries could continue. I really don't know, and at this point, trying to figure it all out kinda spoils the current atmosphere. I don't think ANY of us should make any definite predictions for the future.

Cena practically said tonight that he was gonna chase Edge all the way to Smackdown if he had to to get his rematch.Plus with Stephanie having Triple H come to Raw and Orton RKOing his wife. Triple H is more thasn likely being traded for John Cena. Mark it down now.It will happen.

I've said it in a couple of threads, I fully expect Cena/Edge, HBK/Taker, MITB and probably HHH/Orton to be built on both Raw & SD. And why not, WM25 is a huge landmark and it makes sense for the WWE to be building as many of the feuds as possible on both shows.

I'm going to ad on. It doesnt matter if all the superstars are on all the brands for 8 weeks since the draft is 1 week after wrestlemania meaning they can re-split the brands straight away. Its all been planned

 

[Ryanhitman316]

I don't know it looks like they are leading Edge VS Cena but I really wanted to see Jericho VS Edge since I favor Canadian wrestlers. But that can't happen since they both are heels and Jericho seems to be on RAW.

 

[pandanwh]

since i dont watch smackdown and cena and edge annoy me i would love for them to go to sd

 

[DeadmanInc.]

Well I think the Orton/HHH, Taker/HBK, and Cena/Edge feuds are going to be built on both shows since it is WM25 so the build ups have to be epic.

After the draft, I think Cena and HHH will definitely be changing shows to continue their respective feuds. Triple H has already run out of main event feuds on Smackdown and Cena has been out of RAW feuds for a long time now. Cena on Smackdown means a potential Taker vs Cena match in the future, and I can see him working with rising stars such as MVP and Mr. Kennedy.

I don't know about a trade at all because one of these guys will get drafted so it defeats the purpose trading. The draft should not be random like the last couple of years but it should be like the year Bishoff and Paul E were the GMs and they picked their guys. Also WM is all about cross branding, we will see Cena vs Edge, HHH vs Orton, Undertaker vs HBK, The Colons vs The Miz and Morrison; it doesn't mean that they will be drafted just that for WM RAW guys will fight Smacdown guys (include ECW in there too)

 

[TheOneBigWill]

I have two thoughts on this situation.

Cena to SD/HHH to Raw: While this is certainly the way things seem to be shaping up and it would infact make the most sense, it's not exactly the best choice in my opinion. First, I'll explain why I believe this is going to happen.

I believe Stephanie McMahon will come to the conclusion that because Vickie did something unethical in putting her Husband, Edge, into the Raw Chamber match.. Stephanie will override her authority and bring Triple H. to Raw, in exchange for John Cena to get sent to Smackdown.

Vickie and Edge naturally won't like that decision, but because Steph holds more power and because neither will want to go the route of having Edge stripped of the Championship, it's one they'll take.

Cena and Triple H. to remain on current brands: I think people are jumping to the huge gun of people switching brands, all because of WrestleMania storylines. It isn't without being in the realm of possibility that neither man will actually move off their brand, yet both will suddenly begin showing up during this final Road to WrestleMania, on BOTH Brands. (Will someone please think of the ratings!)

Triple H. just got drafted to Smackdown, not even a full year ago. To pull the plug on that and have him jump ship directly back to Raw would look even worse than his next 4 Championship reigns will likely be. Furthermore, while Smackdown has always been the "children's program" for everything, and John Cena is the children's choice.. Cena is the top guy in the business, and deserves to be on Raw.

SO.. my personal opinion is, neither man will leave their current brand. So much so, that they'll just both flip flop back and forth on both brands, hyping WrestleMania that much more. It's entirely possible.

Randy Orton, in the end, won't get to choose which Championship he goes for, as Stephanie will either alter it into forcing him to face Triple H., or stating that both of the other Heavyweight matches have already been decided. (Cena/Edge, Swagger/Christian) Thus, we will get a Triple H./Randy Orton showdown.

Now here's the funny part. Anyone who thinks this isn't possible, is clearly missing a few screws and obviously hasn't paid attention to the annual "SD v. Raw" typical match-ups we're (now) used to getting on the Road to WrestleMania. This will be nothing more than that. Smackdown vs. Raw match-ups, with heated rivalries and feuds mixed into them.

So, with that said, I finish with this..

For Triple H. to jump back to Raw less than a year after being drafted to Smackdown, would look utterly bad. Especially for a storyline that'll last no longer than likely into Mania. Furthermore, to take your top Superstar of the company off your flagship show, and put him on a televised show that not even a full market of viewers get, is horrible booking in general.

 

[pandanwh]

To the post above, I think that you are wrong about HHH being the star. It appears Edge and John Cena are the biggest stars in the company. (With Rey Mysterio behind, which is why it annoys me that he is buried)
Triple H is losing steam and I think this rivalry is just what he needs to gain it back. On smackdown he has been lost in the shuffle with Undertaker being face and Edge/Hardys being the main storyline. Moving him to Raw will benefit everyone.

 

[salopstick]

if you think about it, hhh only went to smackdown for an easier scedule after the birth of his 2nd child. a year on and he is ready to get on the road again

cena is the top guy in the company, a latter day hogan if you would and with all the non-wreslting stuff he does for wwe - films, appearances etc it makes sense for him to have an easy scedule on smackdown

all we are seeing now is creative making it happen

 

[Ambiguous Turd]

I don't know it looks like they are leading Edge VS Cena but I really wanted to see Jericho VS Edge since I favor Canadian wrestlers.

That's a Hell of a reason to want to see two guys wrestle each other and favor them. Because they are Canadian.

What differences do you notice in Canadian wrestlers from American wrestlers, that makes you prefer them, out of curiosity?

 

[The Rob]

Cena won't get moved to Smackdown before Wrestlemania. To make the feud interesting it should be an inter-promotional match for the World title at WM. The build-up then would be more interesting, seeing both Edge and Cena on different shows every week, who knows what would happen. As for the draft... I dunno about Cena being drafted to Smackdown. Cena is the main guy on Raw at the moment and basically holds the show on his shoulders. Though I would love to see Cena v.s Taker at some stage.

Just to clearify there for you, I wasn't refering to Triple H. being the "biggest star" in the W.W.E. I was refering to John Cena, being on the flagship show (Raw) and being possibly threatened to moving him to the second rate show, Smackdown, that isn't even carried by all network providers.

In other words, I felt it would hurt the company to move Triple H. back to Raw so quickly after he just moved to Smackdown, only to then move your top talent in John Cena, off your top show in Raw.

As far as the Triple H./Randy Orton rivalry, you're correct, it is just what he needs to regain some lost steam.. but he's Triple H., regardless of how "lost" you think he may have become on Smackdown, he was never lost enough to the point of being invisible.

Moving Triple H. to Raw, in my opinion, however, will NOT benefit everyone. It'll benefit Triple H., in getting him back into the Main spotlight of the signature show. And likely in the Main Event, at WrestleMania 25, which in all right, should go to Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker.. if that happens.

But all of that, would be arguments for other threads. To stay on topic with this one..

John Cena chasing Edge to Smackdown, is a bad idea. Mainly because the Cena/Edge feuds from 2006 are still fresh in a lot of people's heads and they don't want much more of it. So once Cena "wins", assuming he would, what then? Feuds with Matt or Jeff Hardy? The only logic would be a feud with the Undertaker.

Or a stupid draft move that would resend Cena back to Raw, and Triple H. back to Smackdown, after their "Mania" storylines were complete.

EDIT: I firmly stand by my prediction that all four individuals, John Cena, Edge, Triple H. and Randy Orton will alternate shows, leading up to WrestleMania. They'll all four bounce back and forth between Smackdown and Raw. To boost ratings through the roof, as much as possible. Then, after Mania, they'll all likely return to their respective brands.

 

[RawIsRamsey]

Cena is WWE's bread and butter...no one moves more merch or illicits more of a reaction than him. Therefore, he's staying on RAW. Simple as that. It would be a stupid business decision to put your top draw on a show that no one watches (honestly, who in the hell gets MyNetwork? Plus the network is SHUTTING DOWN). He'll stay on RAW...Orton will move to Smackdown! before Cena does.

 

[JGlass]

I think if Cena goes to Smackdown, he's going to be spending most of his time there, at least in the beginning, feuding with Edge and Vickie, and he's probably going to end the whole La Familia thing, because let's face it, he is John Cena. A program with Taker would be entertaining, but Taker is pretty much permanently over as a face and I'd be really surprised if they turned Cena heel, and I don't know how I feel about a face-face feud between those two.

 

[CCS]

Chances are Stephanie McMahon will trade Cena to Smackdown for Triple H. I'm all for this. John Cena has really run out of fueds on RAW and Triple H has already grown a bit stale on smackdown, so a trade would make a lot of sense. Cena could go to smackdown and have a lot of nice feuds, and probably carry the brand in the process. I could easily see him on smackdown carrying the brand for a few years. Cena's a exciting talent, and I'm sure all of his RAW fans would follow him to smackdown. So the WWE has nothing to lose.

 

[Vankid34]

I think that would be a great move by WWE to send Cena back to Smackdown. Honestly Smackdown is Cena's home that's where he got his footing and that's where he can reign supreme. Smackdown has a weaker storyline so that works in Cena favor. Other feud I think that will develop well is HHH/Orton if anyone can "control" Orton's grasp on Raw HHH would be that man. It then brings the element of revenge for HHH and the chance for Orton to be a real Legend Killer if you can knock off HHH. Plus if HHH becomes a GM as rumored who better to have against you that Orton.
Edge is doing better than good so him fighting Cena probably wont last long Cena can't hang with the wit of Edge and if the WWE wants to really stir the pot. They can introduce the Batista element in the race for the gold. Maybe as Cena chases Edge to Smackdown he can encounter a hungry Batista.
Shawn Michael well, Undertaker they are some what done as far as wrestling is concerned. Notice how none of these wrestlers been really in twine with the storyline.
JBL vs HBK vs Undertaker should be the Wrestlemania match.. It would fall to who will pin Undertaker and kill the streak.

 

[NSL]

I'm agreeing with the popular idea that they're all going to brand-jump until Wrestlemania. Right now, there is no reason to switch shows when building for the PPV, and the draft is just 8 days afterwards, so any change now would almost immediately be reversed.

Cena was huge on Smackdown, and would have a shot at new feuds if he ended up there long-term. Triple H is still fairly new to Smackdown, so there's no reason to switch shows right now.

Could it happen? Of course. It's the WWE. Will it? Hopefully not.

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

It would be an interesting move but i agree with TheOneBigWill, i think the best option is to have the 4 guys, probably mainly Cena and HHH appearing on both shows in the lead up to Wrestlemania. After the draft i think we'll definatley still have Cena on Raw. As for HHH, he could go anywhere he wants i guess, he generally gets what he wants...

 

[TheGreatSPAMbino]

It would be really fucking stupid for Cena to ever move off of RAW. Raw is their babay, RAW is the flagship. As the top guy, Cena needs to be on the top show period. The numbers prove me right, when Cena is gone ratings drop and theres no one who can compensate for lackofcenaitis. Sure moving cena over to smackdown might boost the smackdown ratings but you dont want to do that at the expense of RAW. Raw should always come first.

Send him to ECW. I don't watch ECW.
