John Cena has regained the WWE Championship

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah... Totally not going to read through this entire thread. I got through 2 pages and I could literally feel my IQ lowering. It's not a huge deal, and frankly with all of the heels on Raw it needed to happen. We can see guys like Ziggler and McIntyre maybe get into the title picture as well as the potentially awesome feud that should come between Cena & Alberto Del Rio. Hell, I'm almost excited to see if Truth can hang with Cena. That would definitely be worth watching.

I was really enjoying Miz's reign and while I'm sad to see it go, I'm glad they didn't give it to someone else. No one else on Raw is really worthy of the Championship and no one is going to help the roster on Raw like Cena will.

 

[BigSexy The IndyKiller]

Mizfit, not picking on you at all, but I must say that I'm not surprised by your BLATANT hate of Miz dropping the belt to Cena and lack of reasonable understanding of what they are trying to do after I scroll down and see that your Sig photo is of Miz crying, similar to what you're doing now. Again, not knocking you. Everyone is free to like who they like. But in terms of storyline, this makes much more sense right now...

 

[The Curtis]

I like John Cena, I've always liked John Cena and I'll continue to like John Cena. To paraphrase Jericho is his new book: "Sure Cena is unorthodox in the ring, but so was a man named Steve Austin".

I like Cena and don't mind him being champion again but I think they should have let The Miz get one more successful title defense and help solidify him as a top guy in WWE before Cena took it back.

And I'm sorry guys but I don't see John Morrison as WWE Champion anyway. He does some impressive and crazy s*** in his matches but I'm not sold as him as more than US or IC Champ just yet.

 

[AnvilForever]

Why does it not surprise me that half the people moaning about Cena winning tonight have Miz sigs and avatars?

It amazes me that the IWC, who constantly bitches that the WWE doesn't plan ahead, can't see the possibilities that come with this title reign. With Orton on SD, there is one top face on Raw and that's Cena, and there's a plethora of heels underneath waiting for a shot at him. Punk, ADR, Miz, maybe even R-Truth if he can build a solid heel character. That stable of heels can't be unleashed if there's a heel champion, so Cena holding the belt gives Raw a chance to explore what they can do with the draft moves. Plus, as some have stated before, Cena will be at Rock's birthday bash with the title in his grasp, placing the possibility that their WM match could be for the title. It's FORESHADOWING, people, can't you see it? (no pun intended)

But no, they can't, so prepare for another round of whining about how Cena has once again RUINED WRESTLING FOREVAR!!!!1!!!!

 

[LynchCats]

For all of you bashing the title change, think about this. Who are the top face challengers for the title after Cena? (Don't include Morrison because he has his thing with R-Truth going).... I'm still waiting... THERE AREN'T ANY. Do you really think that Mysterio is going to go after the title? Big Show is busy with the Tag Titles so he can't chase it. Kofi won the IC title so he's busy.

Cena HAD to win the title tonight. Cena can now feud with the likes of Del Rio, Swagger, Punk, Miz if he can climb back up the ranks. This move HAD to happen.

 

[BestForTheBusinesso9]

I agree that this move makes the most sense for now. With Cena being pretty much the only main event face it sets up a number of good feuds for him that we haven't seen too much of yet. I do worry about Miz and am not sure who he will be up against next I think overall this is probably the best for the company.

For those of you mentioning Morrison. This proves they don't consider him ready for the belt, probably a long way off.

 

[ugotpwned999]

Isn't Cena supposed to be building his fued with the Rock? Why does he need the WWE championship?

Miz should have retained. With Cena pinning him it pretty much killed his momentum and he'll probably just drift away into the midcard or something now. Hopefully not because he's actually pretty credible as a world champion and a main eventer. It seems as though Morrison isn't ready and apparently he has a bad backstage attitude. Cena should just focus on the Rock. Miz should've kept the title.

Another Bad move on WWE's part.

Spoiler

Whoop, Whoop. 50th post!!

 

[Kyle2190]

I made this profile because I just couldn't take it any longer.

All of you Miz and Cena haters need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!

The Miz has paid his dues and has worked harder than anyone to get to the top and you SHOULD respect him for that. He never took the easy way or complained, he busted his ass to be successful. Just because you suck doesn't mean you can go around and shit on the Miz. He is great at everything he does. From his mic work to his ring preformance, The Miz is one of the best. Miz is here to stay, DEAL WITH IT!!!

Pretty much the same thing can be said for Cena. Just like Miz, he busted his ass to get to the top. So again, stop hateing because you suck.

Now that I got that off my chest, the reason why Cena won is simple. WWE wanted to take the belt off Miz for a number of reasons.

1) Miz has had a long, credible title reign and was time for him to drop it.
2) They want to give Del Rio a title push on RAW but couldn't put him up against another heel in Miz
3) Cena is the only credible face left on RAW right now after the draft.
4) Cena has no problem putting people over (look at Barrett, Sheamus, Miz... need I go on)
5) Morrison will never be world champion untill he gets his act together and looses his bad attitude backstage.

The way I see it. Cena and Miz will fued over the WWE title until the next PPV. Then Miz will step aside only for a while so that Del Rio can get his shot as he deserves one. And I wouldn't be surprised if Rio takes the title from Cena (as I said earlier Cena has no problem putting others over)


So it is written, so it shall be...

 

[mrdriveway]

Anyone pay attention to the backstage Miz/Alex Riley interview @ Extreme Rules?

Rock will cost Cena the title on Raw.

What better way to keep the Miz going, by regaining the championship live on Raw for the whole WWE universe to see.

"Really Cena, Really Mr 24 hour tiltle run, Really!". Lol!

 

[Fisheatppl]

I'm upset about this because I was very interested to see how Miz handled being a solo champion (no alex riley). I did not think Cena would win because, to me, it makes Miz going over at Wrestlemania seem tarnished. And I agree with someone else on here, I absolutely thought the reason for the 3 way match was so that Miz didn't beat Cena, and Cena didn't beat Miz. But I had high hopes for a continued title run that Miz could prove himself alone, without his 2 man wolfpack. Now I don't know what they are going to do with him, but with such a recently legendary (not really legendary, I heard that before Wrestlemania he had held the title longer than anyone had in over 2 years) title reign they better do something with him that doesn't make him fade into the background. Love him or hate him, they have made him extremely relevant and they shouldn't waste that. And he shouldn't be face yet, but that I'd love to see him go against Punk, who got screwed.

 

[joelpt21]

thank god Miz finally lost the belt...although im not a big fan of Cena,i just cant stand watching period!! i hope Jericho comes back on raw and challenges Cena and tkes the belt from him...if Miz would have won i would have stopped watching raw for sure...well except for tommorrow when Rock will be on there lol....

Indeed a possiblity, but again, I can not see them doing this as a Miz victory leaves Raw with multiple Heels that need to be built up, and only Cena as the lone credible Face to challenge for the title. JoMo is obviously going into a fued with R-Truth (CLASSIC Heel Promo backstage BTW), so that eliminates him. Plus as stated before, with the pops Miz has been getting lately, it would be hard to keep him Heel as Champion, and I just don't see them turning him yet. So againk Cena winning tonight was a no-brainer.

 

[CitiBoy7]

I didn't really care for all 3 of the competitors but this was maybe the first time I was okay with cena winning because morrison isn't ready and he was involved with truth mainly. Miz had the title longer than I could imagine and like someone said he needs to drop down to the midcard so he can improve and come back better because I never believed him as champ and it just seemed like we were forced to take him serious and I find it funny how the first time Riley wasn't there to help he easily loss. So im willing to sit through a cena reign it that means someone new could earn a chance at being champ.

 

[joelpt21]

really???u mean Miz cting like a btch evry week and htting and running away like he did with stone cold and leaving his buddy to fight his fights for him didnt tarnish his championship enough? really??
he was the most wussy champion of all time! at least u can put cena vs taker in a main event....but taker vs miz?? oh hell no!! it would be a joke if miz lasted one minute with him.....

 

[safeco1999]

I get that Cena is the most over on RAW but for god sakes he's been the # 1 guy for almost 7 years now....give someone else a chance.

Ironically, it's the fans that keep asking for him. I'm not talking about the internet smarks, I'm talking about the ones who put money in Vince's pockets by buying the PPV's, and paying to go to the events.

I remember years ago, during the McMahon/Helmsley era, where everyone was always hating on Triple H for the same things. Look at it now- Triple H gets hurt for a while and people are now begging him to not retire.

How do you like having Del Rio crammed down your throats as a top flight superstar?

Cena's title reign will only serve to enhance someone like Del Rio, not hurt it.

 

[MrPierrini]

I guess it's good considering in terms of how many feuds he can have will all the new heels such as Del Rio.

However I think its got to a point where the WWE title is being really devalued, look at the amount of times he has won it now, ten, thats just ridiculous and the way the crowd just didn't pop that much tells the story. People, including me were just like ah well, here's something we've seen before, I really hope that he doesn't carry it to Wrestlemania to face The Rock, hell if he carries it to December even, I will stop watching Raw.

Im sad that Miz lost the belt, he's done really well with it and I just felt that the title change didn't have enough build up, I mean Raw is more focussed on promoting the Rock return than a title match where the belt changes hand's, again devaluing the title.

I think i'll be sick if Cena starts the show tommorow with his trademark victory celebration/speech and i hope Miami boo's the hell out of him, I certainly will. By the way it was Cena's fault that Miz nearly broke his neck tonight, the talentless idiot can't even do a superplex, a mark of a WORTHY ten time champion, i think not.

Finally the thing that made me laugh/cry the most was when the commentators said that he hadn't been champion in a year, they said it like it was a shock and this shows how much of a control he has over Raw. Im sick of Cena as champion, im sick of Cena pretending to be a wrestler, screw you Cena I wish you got a career ending injury instead of Edge.

 

[EStreet]

I don't have a problem with him winning this. With Rock on Raw tomorrow in Miami, Cena will be getting a ton of heat. Miz was over tonight - when they were exchanging punches he was getting the bulk of the "yeah" cheers while Cena got the "boos". Miz can finally go over cleanly against Cena and get his title back as a face, while Cena goes heel in Miami tomorrow. With the Rock back from his world Fast Five Tour he can appear more, even if it is via satellite to play the ultra-face and keep Cena heel while Miz plays up his new face role as the day-to-day adversary to Cena.

Now lets hope WWE doesn't drop the ball

 

[Strife3]

You know I went over everything in this post and all I need to say is the Cena haters need to cry more. WWE is trying to reach KIDS now more then ever. Who do you think they would give the title to? Besides they are setting up the Cena vs Rock Match at WM28 which I think will be good.

Cena is a nice guy. All the haters out there really don't know the guy. Yeah his character is to be Super Cena! WWE is trying to give kids a hero, to show kids that you can over come things, that when your down your still not out.

As for the Miz he will stay in the main event even without the title and he will hold it again as this is the YEAH of the Miz, he will have the title. I wanna say in Nov he will take the title and hold it till Feb.

 

[iamthegame]

I was going to post a topic about this but D-MAN beat me to it. First of all, I know this is off topic but I just have to say this PPV as a whole SUCKED....every face won, way to keep guys like Punk and Rhodes down Vince you idiot Anywho, back on topic John Cena and the WWE IMO are freaking stupid. What point is there in giving this over rated and stale Cena another title reign. I get that Miz had a long reign and probably needed to drop the title soon but come on give it to Morrison. His pops are huge, he is sick in the ring and his mic work is starting to come around. He was amazing in this match and quite frankly would have won the title if it wasn't for Truth.

Back on point, Cena does not need the title....if the WWE wants his boos to increase then they just accomplised there goals. I get that Cena is the most over on RAW but for god sakes he's been the # 1 guy for almost 7 years now....give someone else a chance. Cena is big enough on his own to be in a top feud on Raw without the title involved. Yes I am a Cena hater but I am also about whats best for business and Cena with the title for the 100th time is not. I hope the boos increase and ratings drop and they will have no choice but to take the title off of him. I guess the only thing I can hope for is Miz gets his rematch tomorrow night and the Rock costs Cena the title, which has been rumored that there will be a confrontation between the two. If Cena gets another unneccsary long title reign then Raw just lost another viewer. Cena you say your unshelfish and all about whats best for business, if so man up and let others get in the title picture....you dumb SOB

Sorry about the rant guys but I dispise Cena as a performer. I respect the man but dispise the character to a pulp!!!!

You are 100% right man. This is ridiculous. I too am a hater and I too respect Cena, but don't the WWE realise that if he keeps winning like this that he will have 25 title runs before he retires? That's not good for the business. It was a chance to pop Morrison's cherry as a World Champion or to further strengthen The Miz as a genuine main event wrestler and true WWE Champion, but instead I'm going to have to listen to that raging homosexual talk about hustle, loyalty and respect and other stupid fecal talk. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I hope the Rock costs him the title tomorrow night or I'm just going to boycot Raw and enjoy watching a fresh champion on Smackdown, a man who put something like 20 years into the business before he was graced with his first title run. I don't give a shit what the Cenation think because this is just a fucking boring move by Vince.

 

[mayankeagle]

Del Rio definitely deserves a title win since he is gold material, and his in-ring work plus gimmick are over. His Rumble win should not come off as useless, he should soon win a title - get it from cena.

 

[Peep]

I'm a big Cena hater, admitted. And as pissed as I was when I saw him win again (because I was paying to see it), I have however calmed down and I admit... I like the move. You can go two distinct ways as of right now.

Option 1: Miz wins the title back on Raw. For those of you who missed the pre-match promo, it was Miz and Riley back stage. Riley was blabbing about how hard it would be for the Miz win this match and he only had a 33% chance. He dropped a comment that he was guaranteed a rematch no matter what anyway. Miz was PO'd at Riley even thinking he could lose and that was the end of the promo. I'm definitely buying into this suspicion that the Miz demands a re-match on Raw and The Rock costs Cena the title, again (possibly because Cena gloats over winning the title in the opening promo). The only problem with this is, where do you go next? Sure, it'd be cool to make the Cena-Rock feud even more heated, but what happens with the title? I doubt it would change things long run as Cena would probably win at Over The Limit because, as it's been said, there are no other legit faces on Raw right now (and I'm counting ReyRey).


Option 2: Cena does gear up for a long title run. As a Cena hater, this would typically drive me nuts but if it's to help guys like McIntyre and Zigler, I could live with it. Logic says that in this scenario, it would ultimately be Alberto Del Rio who ends Cena's reign (likely at Summer Slam).

There are some problems with this either way. What do you do with the Miz long term. Even if he gets the title back on Raw, you still have to believe his days are numbered. As soon as he's out of the title race (whether it be in a month or right now), who does he feud with? With Morrison locked up with Truth right now, the next biggest face is.. Mysterio (yawn). Unless of course they bring Jericho back from DWTS as a face on Raw (which could be interesting).

Another problem is CM Punk. What happens with him and the Nexus? There's also the rumor mill about his contract dispute with the WWE. Building up a long Cena run to ultimately push Del Rio will likely guarantee the WWE loses Punk to TNA later this year.

 

[mrbrownstone]

This was probably the right move. Cena has been away from the title for closing in on a year and Miz's reign had run its course. Interesting to see what happens from here though, obviously a re match with Miz is happening in the near future (perhaps tomorrows Raw?).

From though there Raw is jam packed with heels that Cena could feud with, the likes of Alberto, Ziggler, R-Truth, Swagger and Drew Mcintrye could all benefit greatly from a feud with John Cena. To be perfectly honest I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see Cole get a title shot (on Raw, not PPV) as horrible as it would be. The way they have bee booking Cole it wouldn't surprise me.

I can see Rocky costing Cena sometime down the line too just to keep their feud interesting. Perhaps even tomorrow night if Miz invokes his rematch clause, Rocky being the birthday boy could make himself guest ref and cost Cena the title. Failing that though I could see Rock costing Cena the title at SSlam, I certainly don't see Cena carrying the title for a whole year although I have no doubt he will be the champ walking into Mania.

I am interested to see what The Miz does from here though. There aren't many main event faces on Raw at the moment for him to feud with. Perhaps a feud with Rey? Or maybe Hunter if he returns? Should be interesting to see where Miz goes from here with his feud with Cena nearing an end and Morrison tied up with Truth.

 

[MisterB47]

Loves reading all the Cena hate and the threats of 'if Cena keeps the title, Raw loses another viewer' Blah blah blah blah blah. You people obviously don't realise that by everyone hating on him so much, you are just fueling McMahon and the writers to continue to piss you off by giving the title to him. Plus, whther positive or negative Cena as champ, maineventer, number 1 guy gets the reactions the WWE is looking for. Thats why he stays up there.

Personally I don't mind Cena, champ or no champ but whats so different between his reigns and Hogans back in the day. Why was there no hate for him??!!!

Anyways back to the topic, Cena becomes Champ because he will start his program for Del Rio. Del Rio's move to Raw was for this purpose. ADR will defeat Cena and they will fued to bring ADR up, Miz doesnt disappear he will still be in the picture, possibly in the same frame with Cena and ADR.

Sorry about the rant guys but I dispise Cena as a performer. I respect the man but dispise the character to a pulp!!!!

The PPV sucked..?? I guess you were watching Extreme Rules on a different plane.. Even though I admit that I'm not buying the fact that Cena and Orton should have won (especially Orton), it makes much more sense than Miz retaining.. And yes, while Miz was the champ, the ratings were 4.0 and above were they..?? So if RAW loses one viewer in you, I dont think it makes much of a difference..

Right now, Raw is heel heavy.. They don't have any other face apart from Cena who can have a go at the WWE Championship.. JoMo is there, but he is locked up with R-Troof (he has gained a lot by the way).. And if Miz retains, who does he go up against??

BIG SHOW

BOOYAKA MYSTERIO

Just like you quote its for the business, it was for business... Business in today's WWE is about story-lines and last time you had a heel vs heel match for WWE Championship, it was Sheamus vs Randy Orton, when it was plain clear that RKO is going to turn face.. You dont have any other BIG heel who is turning face.. So story line sense wise, it was absolutely clear that John Cena should have won and he did..

And the PPV was nice..

Brilliant match between Randy and Punk

Kharma finally debuts.. Hope that before she lays her hand on any Divas, she destroys Cole

CHRISTIAN's WHC.. FINALLY!!

Cole and Swagger won.. I wanna kill that SOB Dean Malenko

 

[Tors Hall Rule]

Also for people saying every face winning is bad for business, here's the deal..

After a long time.. We had some good matches.. Thanks a lot for that..

1) Kofi had to win.. No one else could have done it.. A heel heel match sucks, so does a face face.

2) Christian had to win it.. You dont want 2 titles on Raw.. This was an opportunity otherwise Randy Orton would have been the pick to get the title back on SD..

3) Did any one actually watch Cole-Swagger match and checked the results...

4) Last time I checked, Layla was a heel, though she's showing signs of a face turn.

5) John Cena had to win just like I said in my previous post.

Don't forget the fact that WWE canters more to kids now and not their parents (esp not fathers, mothers maybe a bit because they almost always have the same tendencies as their kids).. Keeping that in mind, once in a while, you will always get a PPV where the faces dominate.. Remember the time Cena was on a bad streak against Nexus and come TLC, we had almost all faces winning..

I dont see anything bad in the PPV except for a couple of reults.. The matches were nice and enjoyable and I'm looking forward to how this thing comes out on RAW...
