What's next for Cena after he is done feuding with Owens

[Crocker]

I'm pretty sure Owens is going to take the U.S title away from Cena, which sucks because I have been enjoying his reign a lot.. probably his best work in WWE so far. So after this feud what is next for him? I can see a couple of options. Sheamus will have nothing to do after his feud with Orton is over (unless he cashes in, but I doubt he will cash in this soon).. so a Cena vs Sheamus feud is highly likely.. he can also go for the IC title since RYback is injured.

Or. the best optino would be to team up with Orton to elevate the tag team division. Lets face it; both men will have nothing to do with the crowded main event scene.. Orton is getting phased out, Cena is willingly elevating the mid card division, so the logical next step would be elevating the tag team division. Also Orton and Cena are not "too big" for the tag team division, because HHH and HBK were elevating it against the likes of mid carders like Carlito, Chris Masters, etc

Realistically what is next for Cena? Regain the WWE Championship? That would be a terrible waste because his 16th title win should be made a big deal and at a big PPV like WrestleMania or SummerSlam. Idk about summerslam because he will probably still be feuding with Owens. Imo they should hold off on his 16th title win until WM to make the most cash out of it, so he should elevate the tag team division in the meantime.

After Summerslam we will get Cena vs. Rollins for the gold.

You know what probably be best for Cena after Owens? Some time off. He's been a workhorse for a very long time, and an extended break until the Rumble would be a way to let him relax for a while and extend his career in the long run.

Realistically, though, he's probably getting elevated back into the world title picture.

 

[Crocker]

Cena vs Sheamus.. Cena vs Rollins. The only posible feuds. Man this guy needs a massive overhaul he faced everyone on the roster already.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

John Cena and Randy Orton have feuded several times over the last 8 years. Their ongoing rivalry (yep, we'll see it again) was arguably the biggest of the PG Era. They should not team together under any circumstances. You don't see Stone Cold and The Rock teaming or Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan teaming. In kayfabe, Cena should still have resentment over Orton slapping Cena's father.

To answer the question, Cena will probably feud with the WWE Champion, whoever that might be, in pursuit of his 16th world championship reign and beyond. I don't want to see Cena break Flair's record, but I guarantee you WWE does.

I like the idea of Cena going into the tag team division but I don't like him going in there with Randy Orton since they've been huge rivals all throughout there careers.

If you just had to put him into the tag team division first you'd have to build up two or three credible tag teams for him to face. When Cena entered the US title scene he already had a good opponent in Rusev ready for him. Who in the tag division is big enough to square off against John Cena? No one.

If he were to join the tag team division I would say pair him up with Cesaro. I can almost smell Cesaro being somewhere in the mid card after Summerslam so why waste him when he could dominate the tag division with a man who respects the hell out of him?


However the most likely thing to do is Cesaro costs Owens the title at Battleground and then that leads to a fatal four way at Summerslam with Owens winning over Cesaro, Cena and Rusev.

After that I'd like to see Cena have at least one more feud before going into the WWE Title picture because it makes no sense that he lost his US title so he just jumps into the WWE title picture. I think Cena feuding with Dean Ambrose or Sheamus is quite possible after Summerslam.

The WWE title picture will be a bit dull if Rollins is able to retain over Lesnar because I feel like he's faced everyone in the main event scene right now multiple times for the title...everyone but John Cena. The feud could feel fresh and it could end with Cena on top by the time the Royal Rumble comes around.

If they wanna make a huge deal out of his 16th title win, the best way is to win it at WrestleMania 32, where Vince is planning to sell it out. its getting hyped as the greatest WM of all time.. Cena's 16th title run = money. why waste it on a B ppv like Night of Champions or Hell in a cell (because i doubt hes winning it at Summerslam, he would still feud with owens)

Not a lot of people want to see John Cena win yet another WrestleMania main event. Let's also not treat Night of Champions or Hell in a Cell or any other PPV like they don't mean anything.

You do realize all of the empirical data of the past five years says the exact opposite of this, right?

If you are referring to the forums, then that's probably false. At least amongst the regulars. Quite a few of us actually do enjoy watching Cena. I myself would not mind seeing him in another Mania main event.

Yeah thats why crowds were booing him on a weekly basis when he was in the main event. Sure, you can say that Cena equals money from kids, but you can't really say that everybody wants to see him win his 16th world title.. even casuals were getting tired of him when he was in the main event. Sit down, cena mark.

According to house show data, Cena has been WWE's number one headliner since 2008. In 2014 he headlined 48 of them with 5,600 for an average attendance. Smark favorite Bryan, who can get 10,000+ chanting "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" could only muster an average of 4,400 for the shows he headlined.

I'll take the guy that can pack 1,000 more kids and their families into arenas, than the guy that caters to mostly neckbeards trying to relive their ROH glory days.

You can't literally say everybody wants "x" ever. It's all about the majority. So when people say everybody they are usually just generalizing the majority.

Also a crowd reacting is always a good thing. Whether it's booing or cheering, they are still reacting.

Ok cool, Cena is a bigger draw than Bryan.. no surprise since Cena has been pushed for a lot longer.. Bryan's injury proneness has prevented him from reaching the status that Cena has.

Also you will take the guy that can pack more people? Why do you care what draws money for the WWE? Just pick the guy who entertains you more, its that simple. A superstar's drawing power shouldn't determine whether you like him more or not.

Cena entertains me more. He should win another world title. Done and done.

Quite frankly, Cena hasn't been this entertaining to me personally since his 2011 feud with Punk. Guy's on a role right now, which is insane considering he's been around for almost 15 years.

As for OP... I too think he's going to move up to Seth Rollins eventually. I don't think it will be until after Summerslam though because it seems as if Rollins will be very busy with some sort of Authority angle following BG. Cena will most likely get his US title rematch at Summerslam and move on to Rollins (or whoever is champ) from there.

At leaset we're safe from another world title reign until WM

Are you a doofus? Why would you take Cena's force wanna-be underdog push over Daniel Bryan's organic underdog push.. They're very similar character; both are passionate about wrestling, both are goody two shoes, both wanna do what is right, etc.. except that Cena is not believable as an underdog and he's been force pushed upon many fans.. on the otherhand Daniel Bryan's push is organic and his underdog persona comes from real life politics. Also Bryan is more over than Cena by a considerable margin.. So idk what you see in Cena that you don't see in Bryan

Wow, you ask for a subjective opinion and I gave you one, and you turned around and insulted it. You're fucking ******ed. I'd take Cena because time and time again he's proven to be better for business than anyone else.

No, are YOU ******ed? Why the fuck do you care about whos better for business or not? Why does a person's drawing power determine whether you like him or not?? you like who is ENTERTAINING, not who is a bigger draw..

its like me saying Justin Bieber is my favorite singer because he is best for business... in contrast hes a god awful singer, but yes he does make a lot more money than 95% of singers.. i mean i just fucking posted the same thing a page back and you ignore it like a mentally ill kid.

you ain't a fucking businessman for WWE , just get over the "cena draws the most cash for WWE; therefore i wanna suck his dick" gimmick.

Cena being the best, and drawing the most money, are not mutually exclusive. People are entertained by Cena, and therefore buy his merch, attend his house shows, and buys shows in which he main events.

Being best for business also generally means you're the most entertaining. You're coming from the world of subjective, homey. And the world of subjective doesn't win when there's ample data out there to say your subjective opinion is wrong.

Brock Lesnar showed us how amazing Cena is.

Good logic there.

Thats why people pay money to see Justin Bieber. He has millions of fans who pour their money to him because they love him as a singer. Hence, being this entertaining singer allows him to be one of the richest people in the world. Also 99% of the people in the world recognize his name. His massive success proves that he is one of the best singers in the world. Therefore, all of his haters "subjective" opinions are wrong, and the facts and numbers prove otherwise.

The fact is that Justin Bieber is one of the most entertaining singers in the world.
