Cena VS Orton Yet Again?!?!?!?!

[WorstWrestlingExcrement]

While I'm pretty doubtful that they're going to go with Orton/Cena for the title, I'm going to be the devil's advocate here and view this from a different perspective than others. Maybe Vince and Co. view this as the only match on Smackdown big enough to possibly main event Mania. The other realistic options are Orton/Styles and Orton/Wyatt, and while those might be better from a fan perspective, they don't scream "Mania main event" quite like Orton/Cena does. And we all know what Vince's go-to plan has been for the past 10 years when he starts to second-guess the talent's drawing power; it's always been Cena/Orton.

We may assume that Brock/Goldberg or Taker/Reigns or HHH/Rollins will be the main event, but I don't see a title match not closing Mania this year. It's only under extremely rare circumstances that a match not featuring a World title main events Wrestlemania (Taker/Shawn in Shawn's last match, Rock/Cena in "Once in a Lifetime", etc.) and at this point, they would be crazy to have Brock/Goldberg or Reigns/Taker go last if one is not for a World title. It's clear based on last night that Goldberg is more than just rusty in the ring, he looks like he's never stepped in a damn ring before. And to put Roman on last, even in a match involving Taker is just asking the crowd to shit on another main event. There have been rumors that Goldberg's going to win the Universal Title at Fastlane and if that happens, than we obviously have our Mania main event. If not, there are very few options.

Like I said, Wyatt/Orton isn't strong enough to anchor Mania and while an argument can be made for Orton/Styles, I'm not sure Vince would have enough confidence in the match to put it last. It's possible WWE thinks enough time has passed that fans would view this as a fresh match-up again. Again, I'm not saying it will happen. I'm actually pretty certain that it won't. But arguments can be made.

I don't think you watched RR ppv yesterday all fans were doing were cheering for Randy Orton everytime he did the "RKO". Even at the bar we were all cheering for Randy Orton maybe one or 2 were cheering for Jerkiko which he wouldn't fit with cena! wwe wants to rub mud into Flair's face by making Cena 17th champion but Ric Flair is 21 time champion if you count all of them he did. As for Goldberg-Lesner 3 at WM33 won't happen they scrapped it off . Orton is todays news and cena is yesterday's new everyone was jeering Reigns and when Orton and Wyatt tag teamed on him cheers filled up the arena and more cheers resulting to many KO's!

WM33 Card as of now reads this

Brock Lesner vs Braun Strowman
Reigns vs Owens vs Jerkiko UC
AJ Styles vs cena vs Orton WHC
Goldberg vs Underflaker
Big Slow vs Shaq
Bray Wyatt vs Luke Harper
Sheamus vs Cesaro

Also, why have Cena equal Ric Flair's record if he is then going to drop the belt a month later?

Well, in all fairness, Flair's 16th title reign lasted less than two hours, so it would actually be fitting...

You are a really terrible poster. Has anyone told you that? As far as Flair's record, he would technically be a 19 time champion, if the WWE recognized all of his official title wins. And if they recognized all of his title wins, he would be at 25 (but those other six wins aren't recognized by anyone...

Well since I very much doubt that they would do Cena vs Orton yet again, I was left scratching my head as to why Cena won the title in the first place yesterday. Same goes for Orton winning the Rumble, actually (I would've gone with Wyatt or Jericho personally).

I really thought Styles deserved to go into Mania as champion, but since that's not happening now, and as I said I don't see Cena vs Orton, the question becomes who wins the title at Elimination Chamber? And I think it has to be Bray Wyatt. He's been consistently one of the most interesting characters that WWE has to offer in the past few years and it's time he is rewarded for it. So then how do the rest of the dominoes fall? I'm usually against triple threat matches, so after Wyatt (c) vs Orton, the booking gets tricky for me. I'd do Cena vs Taker or Cena vs Samoa Joe, (and why they had Joe debut on Raw instead of SD is beyond me - Raw is already pretty stacked as it is). Then what about Styles? Do they really waste him in a match against Shane McMahon like I've read on here? Let's really hope not. If Finn Balor is back in time and they want to go interpromotional, then he's the best option imo. The other one that comes to mind for Styles' opponent is Nakamura. Does he get called up this soon after losing the NXT Title though? I tend to doubt it, but we'll see.

But again, assuming Cena loses at the Chamber, I don't get why they just didn't have Styles retain the title until at least then.

It was just announced that Cena and Orton will square off one on one next week on SmackDown Live. As a result, the odds of Cena vs. Orton for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania have probably gone down considerably; I simply don't see them doing this match next week and then doing it again for the title at WrestleMania.

Since we're getting John Cena Vs. Randy Orton on this week's Smackdown, I don't think that there's any possibility of the same match main eventing the Wrestlemania 33.

If it would've been the case, WWE wouldn't do such a stupid move of giving the main event of their biggest event of the year in advance on free TV of all things.

John Cena will surely lose the title at Elimination Chamber. The next champion is rumored to be Bray Wyatt but I think that it could be AJ Styles too.
