What Is Next For Cena?

[Find'er Woo'er Ryder]

ok cena didnt win the wwe title at NoC last night. the nexus jumped him last night and cost him the title again. so i guess were gonna see the nexus/cena fued last a longer. and the next ppv is hell in a cell so my question is would you like to see wade barret vs john cena in a hell in a cell match. thoughts?

 

[Suneeboy]

I do not want to see Wade Barrett vs. John Cena in a HIAC Match, but they might as well cut to the chase.

Cena has vowed to end the Nexus, and they had an altercation at the NOC PPV. Hell in a Cell is a feud ending PPV/Match. 1 + 1 = 2.

 

[Avenged7X]

I would like to see it, but only if Wade Barrett wins.
I really wanted to see Barrett walk away with the title at Night of Champions, and now that he lost. All I can really see them doing with him before he's buried, is beating Cena.

 

[KitInaka]

Ehhh...I'm not sure...Hell in a Cell seems like a bad idea for this match considering that Wade Barrett NEEDS Nexus to interfere in some way. There's just no way that their gonna let him go clean over Super Cena.

I honestly don't know what their gonna do with Cena and Nexus. Especially because all the build up for HIAC has to take place tonight which means they've had this written probably before NOC.

 

[Zeven_Zion]

Cena is fucking DONE for. This is it for the guy. Orton is deffinitely more over than he is. He got the belt, he got everything. Then you have Miz who's groomed for a Main Eventer, and Bryan Danielson as the US Champion.

Cena cannot and should not be the face of the company any more. Get the memo WWE! Orton's the biggest face on RAW, and Cena can finally go fuck himself.

What's next for Cena? I don't know. Nothing is exciting with this guy anymore. He feuded with everybody, and now from the looks of it he'll feud with Nexus...AGAIN!

Unless, and this is a long shot, unless the guy does the impossible, turns heel and leads Nexus on his way to the World Title. With Jericho gone, RAW has no huge heels except for Miz. Grow some brains WWE. You got your new big face - now turn Cena heel and get this shit rollin'.

That's what I'm talking about. Let's get this going in the right direction, and stop with the games. Wrestling won't draw any worse with Cena as a heel, and with Orton as the top face now and Jericho gone, this is the perfect time for Cena to step up as a heel and refresh the character.

Wouldn't happen, but a nice swerve would be if he changed his tune and joined and led Nexus.

 

[ForeverRKO]

why is everyone saying nexus cost cena the title ? he never entered NOC with the title and he definately wasnt the last person eliminated .. he was the 3rd! so knock it off, and theres still alot of stuff cena can do , maybe he might move to smackdown or team with orton to destroy nexus .

oh , and jericho isnt leaving dumb dumbs .

 

[Dean Winchester]

Pretty sure Cena will continue feuding with Nexus then move back into trying to capture the WWE Champioship belt...you know he will get the belt back sooner or later....and no Cena still the top guy in the WWE not Randy Orton.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Cena has always been above Orton in the past and will continue to be even though he doesn't have the title. Orton has never been a draw as champion and I don't see that changing anytime soon. As for Cena, they have two different routes for him. Either face Barrett at Hell In a Cell or drag this out to Survivor Series where it can end there. I'd rather take the former because Barrett and Nexus have cost Cena chances to win titles so many times that I believe those two should face off in two weeks and have Cena win.

 

[Stagger Lee]

Cena is still the top guy in the WWE by a long shot. The vocal majority on these boards are not even close to the vocal majority who makes the WWE money. We get it, in the internet world, everyone hates Cena. In the internet world, everyone thinks Daniel Bryan is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Outside of the internet world, things don't work this way. Little kids still have daddy buy the Cena gear. Little kids still don't know that the guy in the maroon trunks who keeps beating the Miz was an indy legend, he's just some goober who has a little difficulty on the mic.

For the most part, the majority who frequent these boards aren't the ones who Vince is targeting to make money in the first place. So while Cena may be stale to some of you here, and you think he needs a heel turn, reality says that he's doing just fine and Vince likes him just where he is. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't make a heel turn, I am just saying it may not be in the best interest of the company to have him turn just because a couple of overgrown kids on message boards don't like him.

 

[Jaims]

I'm sorry, but all of you who think that Cena is CLEARLY the top draw in WWE is just not listening clearly. Who gets the loudest pops? Orton does. Even if you count all of the boos for Cena at an event and combine them with the pops, Orton is still getting a louder response. The crowd goes mental when he hits an RKO. Everybody in the crowd is not just wearing Cena shirts anymore; there are plenty of Orton shirts as well. Cena still is a top face in general, I might even say he is still THE top face, but that is rapidly changing. Orton has as much pull in the back as Cena does, so why isn't it possible that Orton is assuming the top position in the hierarchy? The crowd is allowing Orton to climb higher and higher in popularity, and the WWE won't stop that trend just so Cena can still be the head honcho.

Ultimately, Cena is in a bit of a bind when it comes to storylines. He will continue to feud with the Nexus, but the Nexus has been booked weaker and weaker lately, and getting much less face time on the air. Once Cena comes out on top, is he just going to feud with Orton again for the belt? That won't be interesting since they've done it plenty of times, with their most recent match together one-on-one only being 1 week ago. Cena is in desperate need for a new heel feud or Orton is going to start leaving him in the dust in terms of popularity. But who could he feud with? Jericho would be the best option if he sticks around, as Jericho boosts everyone's cred, but there really isn't a fresh heel for him to throw around.

Call me crazy, but I think the lack of future storylines with Cena is going to really have the WWE seriously consider a heel turn. It's been asked for a while now from the IWC. It would be a hell of a shocker. It would generate interest. It would give him something to do after he destroys the Nexus again. So what is next? Nexus. After that? I'm going with a heel turn.

 

[ScruffDog]

I'm sick of this whole Nexus Cena thing. I would rather watch The Great Khali reading War and Peace to the audience, than watch this stupid rivalry continue.

Just make Cena a heel and get it over with. Making Cena a bad guy with Nexus is the only way to keep it interesting of me.

 

[TheRedTomato]

That is not going to happen you know it and so does everyone else. As much as they would like to turn Cena heel the company can not afford to. They have made Cena to much of a "franchise" to turn heel.

 

[Wade's Public Transit Bomb]

I'm sorry, but all of you who think that Cena is CLEARLY the top draw in WWE is just not listening clearly.

Anyone (besides the Divas lol) can get a response. It takes a real star to make money. Cena accounts for over 30 percent of the WWE's merchandise sells. Unless Orton is going to account for 31 percent, Cena is still the top draw. And I doubt that will happen considering Rey, Taker, and HHH are always top sellers along with Cena and Orton. Heck, even the Nexus' stuff is doing reasonable good sales.


I personally think the Nexus stuff still has legs. Wade is still getting the response of a top heel. The way Cena lead to Barrett's elimination was great; it subtly added to the fact that Barrett actually cares about his goons as oppose to many heel leaders who don't care if someone gets beat up if it ain't them.

 

[Notorious718]

Well with Barrett pinning Cena at NOC, I guess the only logical thing to do would be to have Cena square off one last time at HIAC. Cena did say he was gonna eliminate the Nexus one by one a long time ago so I see him doing that over the next few weeks before finally getting Barrett one on one. I'm pretty much indifferent on whether or not the match takes place inside HIAC but I guess it would make sense in the the case of Cena and Barrett having a fair one on one showdown without any outside interference.

I'm guessing the Nexus storyline will be ending sooner than later but this is just a shot in the dark.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I'm sorry, but all of you who think that Cena is CLEARLY the top draw in WWE is just not listening clearly. Who gets the loudest pops? Orton does. Even if you count all of the boos for Cena at an event and combine them with the pops, Orton is still getting a louder response. The crowd goes mental when he hits an RKO.

The crowd is allowing Orton to climb higher and higher in popularity, and the WWE won't stop that trend just so Cena can still be the head honcho.

So what if he supposedly gets the loudest pops? Has Orton proved throughout his career that he can carry a brand? Cena has and that is why he is the top guy in the company. He puts on the better matches, sells more merchandise, still gets the crowd involved more than any other wrestler, etc. Orton has been mediocre his entire career, has had average matches since becoming a main eventer, and has never proven to be a huge draw.

Ultimately, Cena is in a bit of a bind when it comes to storylines. He will continue to feud with the Nexus, but the Nexus has been booked weaker and weaker lately, and getting much less face time on the air. Once Cena comes out on top, is he just going to feud with Orton again for the belt?

Jericho would be the best option if he sticks around, as Jericho boosts everyone's cred, but there really isn't a fresh heel for him to throw around.

Cena can feud with Jericho, Edge, or Barrett for the time being. I would like him to feud with Barrett because Wade has been a thorn in Cena's side for nearly half a year and the payoff needs to happen soon.

Call me crazy, but I think the lack of future storylines with Cena is going to really have the WWE seriously consider a heel turn. It's been asked for a while now from the IWC. It would be a hell of a shocker. It would generate interest. It would give him something to do after he destroys the Nexus again. So what is next? Nexus. After that? I'm going with a heel turn.

Here's what is wrong with the heel turn. How many top faces are there on RAW? One and that is Randy Orton. It won't be a shocker because everybody seems to want it which is stupid in my opinion. Who is Cena going to feud with if he turns heel? I don't see him going to Smackdown so on RAW he will be face because RAW has been suffering from heel overload.

I'm sick of this whole Nexus Cena thing. I would rather watch The Great Khali reading War and Peace to the audience, than watch this stupid rivalry continue.

Just make Cena a heel and get it over with. Making Cena a bad guy with Nexus is the only way to keep it interesting of me.

The stupid rivalry has been the best thing going for RAW this past year. What other storyline since Wrestlemania has been more captivating then this one? Vince is not going to turn Cena heel just to join Nexus because that would defeat the purpose. I've already explained about the face/heel situation on RAW.

 

[wrestlingking]

I hope Cena takes a break. Everyone booed him everytime he was show or wrestling last night at NOC. If he doesnt take a break, he should turn and do a Jericho where he hates everyone.

 

[Dave]

I have to agree with some of the people in this thread. Turning Cena heel is looking increasingly likely in his feud with The Nexus. I9 could definitely see The Nexus becoming face in light of this change of alignment and I think it could carry on as usual in that scenario.

The crowd are literally salivating at the mouth for a Cena heel turn to wash away all the hate. The boos would be justifiable and he could go onto to have his character grow. Right now, he seems to be stuck in somewhat of a rut and the crowd are just growing increasingly weary of the whole thing. Seeing the Nexus and Cena trade blows every week has all but taken all of the momentum out of the Nexus and it needs something to inject a bit of life into it again. It was the best thing all summer and now it seems as though we are all just waiting for it to end one way or the other.

Cena turning heel would do that and I don’t think it is beyond the realms of possibility to think that it could happen. Either way, something needs to happen to give some life to this feud. The Raw GM coming out as the head of The Nexus might do that and cause Cena to go heel. Really, I am reaching now but it is the sign of a desperate man. This feud desperately needs something different or it will continue to die a slow and painful death like it has over the last couple of weeks.

 

[MOExecution]

I called everything last night after Night of Champions! I knew that Randy Orton was going to win! And if my predictions are still correct especially since the interference last night from The Nexus we might possibly see John Cena vs Wade Barrett in a Hell in a Cell Match to finally end this feud once and for all.

 

[WJDwjdWJDwjd]

All this talk of Cena turning heel is unfounded garbage. WWE makes so much money off this man it's not even funny. Turning Cena heel would be about as smart as turning Rey Mysterio heel. How many kids/women/men do you see with Cena shirts on at WWE events? The places are FLOODED with them. How many people do you see with Sheamus shirts? I have not seen many Raws with a person wearing a Sheamus shirt. It's a matter of what sells to audiences. Cena sells to audiences. It's the awful truth. Would I love to see a Cena heel turn? Yes, I would like to but I'm realistic about the situation. A heel turn of this magnitude would end in someone rising up into his shoes and become another Cena and then the IWC would bitch even more.

As for what's next for Cena, the logical choice would be extending the Nexus feud to HIAC. There needs to be a Barrett vs Cena match to try and put this feud to rest. When Nexus came in many months ago and beat down Cena, I could tell this would be a very long feud. For Cena's and Nexus' sake, this feud needs a closer match. Not necessarily in a HIAC but at the PPV to tie this up. Nexus needs new storylines and so does Cena. Have Cena feud with mid card talent or something. I wouldn't be in objection to a Ted DiBiase vs John Cena feud. At this point in Cena's career, he needs to stay away from the title and let other stars be made. The man has done it all in the main event picture. Take the spotlight off of him for a while. He'll always be there when you need him.

I know your a mod and the last thing I want to do is upset a mod but REALLY? Your calling for a Cena Heel turn AND a Nexus Face turn? That would make no sense whatsoever. You can't have a group like Nexus that literally destroys the WWE turn face because of one guy.

I admit. I'm sick of the Super cena gimmick but he's gotten better with his promos and with him selling shots. I firmly believe that that is why Miz hasn't cashed in the title shot yet because WWE wants to make sure he is ready. Cena was not ready but he gained so much popularity that it was impossible to keep him at the Mid Card.

Even when he was supposed to be a mid card guy on raw of a bit with the WWE Championship while HHH/Batista for the WHC was supposed to be the main event Cena's Pops were bigger then the other two.

Cena's not gonna turn heel until this Nexus storyline is over and even then I'm not expecting him to turn until after Wrestlemaina.

 

[Ruthless-RKO]

No would WWE do that!! and they shouldn't!! Cena has only been in 1 Hell in a Cell match!! and it was last year!! and he lost..Wade Barrett has been a main event player since how long? not even a year!! So this match should never in a million years end in a hell in a cell!!

 

[pessimism101]

Truth be told, I can see John Cena feuding with Wade Barrett/Nexus until Survivor Series at the latest. From there, I see Miz cashing in MITB on Randy Orton (since having a heel cash in on a heel won't be as exciting) and then John Cena will begin feuding with the Miz in time for WrestleMania (NOTE: Until officially confirmed, the WWE/World Title unification at WrestleMania is a rumor).

I do NOT see Cena turning heel any time in the near future because the time and place for that was SummerSlam. Since it didn't happen, I don't expect it to happen for a very long time.

No, by all means, if you think I am wrong then tell me.

Perhaps I was a little hasty in thinking that The Nexus could, or would, turn face. However, if Cena did turn heel because of everything that has happened, would it make sense to keep him feuding with a heel faction? I don’t think so. Personally, I think that The Nexus could run a tweener role like Orton and do it with the utmost success. Add that to the fact that Cena turning heel would be an absolutely dominating feature of Raw, would there be room for The Nexus to be heels too? Not on that scale anyway.

WOW....Finally someone listened to what iv been saying for a while now...Cena is still the face of the company, no question..Go to any show and look around..Heck, look at the audience on tv...90% is Cena sighns and Cena shirts and gear...And DBD...I think since he came back i seen one bryan sighn..I think it was a Daniel Bryan sighn. Even though i may not be big on Cena, he is the manure that WWE is stirred around...And im not a fan of Bryan..I dont follow the Indy circute, and yes iv read all the stories..i think this guy MAY be over-hyped...

As ar as this topic, where will Cena go, Im a big Barrett fan, I love to see Barrett go over Cena at HIAC....or shoot, if its a heel GM put Cena (and maybe a partner) in a handicapped match aginst all of nexus at HIAC...
