Who is the next WWE Champion?

[Crush1]

My question for you is who do you think is going to be the champion after Cena? The reason for this is because of the constant never ending circle of Champions on RAW. For the couple of years it's always been Cena to Orton to Triple H. There were some guys like Jericho and such who came in but this circle still hasn't changed and Cena is the champion again. I wonder who will be the guy that's going to break this circle because people get tired of this same scene over and over again. Now I'm not complaining over Cena as a champion, it's just that I'm tired that RAW still hasnt seen a new main eventer rise up to challenge Cena.

I know it makes sense to see the #1 good guy to beat the #1 bad guy but this feud has already been done right? couldn't they at least add some other character in the mix besides Triple H to make this feud remotely interesting. I know people are paying to see these guys but things dont last forever, its time we got to see some fresh main eventers right? Do you guys have the slightest feeling this is going to happen anytime soon? I sure dont..

I know the majority has been waiting to see Cena as a champion again. But they could at least remove Orton and put him in another program for a while and let Cena feud with someone else. Do you guys really think that if Orton were to lay low for a while people wouldn't buy tickets? Hell no, this stuff happened all the time in the past, and now its time for it to happen in the present. I can't name a couple of guy who are going to be headlining RAW's main event scene, because the guys in the mid-card IMO are gonna stay there for a long while. So I want you guys to mention some people. And even if they cant build stars on RAW they still have Smackdown and ECW right? so why not move people from there to mix things up. I honestly am dying to see the next draft if it's gonna happen. I want someone, some wrestler to finally end this tiresome cycle of Cena - Orton - Triple H.

 

[WWF Wrestling Fan]

You know WWE don't have many main eventers on RAW now a days so its going to be a circle and if they do get a new person for the WWE Title I hope its someone worth waiting for because for the past 3 years its been the same guys like you said Orton Cena and hHh and as a '' Old School '' fan of wrestling its gettin boring to watch the same guys winning the strap like Hogan did back in the 80's and 90's WWE should move Matt Hardy back to RAW and have him win the WWE Title or someone else .

 

[Bullseye]

I think the next champion will be Randy Orton. Then John Cena again, who will probably hold it for a long time, due to a serious lack of main event guys on Raw. Plus we've already had 'title-change overkill' this year.
So Cena to hold the title possibly up to Royal Rumble/No Way Out (just in time to regain at WM ) Assuming there isn't a draft before then, who is there to challenge him?

Batista: Gone to Smackdown. Good move for everybody.

Triple H: Busy with DX. Plus, this time I REALLY believe he may not be in the title picture for a while. I have to, for my own sanity.

HBK: A possible heel turn may be interesting, but he rarely works a long schedule and any title reign would be short.

Big Show: Please no. I know he's back on the up with tag titles, but... no.

Rhodes/DiBiase: Some will disagree, but i think putting one of these guys into the title scene will freshen things up a little. Not too fresh, as they've been fighting Cena for months, but it would be a LITTLE different at least. However, neither is ready to actually hold the WWE title yet.

Anyone else? Kofi, Miz, Swagger, even Mark Henry - all have potential, but are nowhere near a WWE title run this side of Wrestlemania.

MVP is the only current Raw guy left. He would have to be pushed hard, really hard, but he could pull it off. If he's not wasted forming ad-hoc tag teams like he is at the moment. Even then, face MVP couldnt feud with face Champ Cena. It's worrying.

Thank God for Smackdown.

 

[KKarvox]

It's, honestly, probably going to be a member of Legacy, whether Orton wins it back, or Rhodes or Dibiase pick up the win, then fued with Orton over it. Unless some just crawls out of the woodwork and wins it. Cena is gonna end up having a long title run, probably going over Orton, Swagger, and maybe MVP. No one has been built up to the point that they could have a strong fued with Cena, though Swagger had a brilliant match with Cena, but they won't put the strap on him. Maybe McGuinness or Danielson if they bypass FCW.

 

[LFC20]

First of all, as much as i hope this DOESN'T happen, i think john cena will have a decent title reign...this being said, i think Randy Orton will win the title back around Survivor series. After this, I see Legacy exploding with jealousy and both men trying to challenge Orton for the strap. The wwe wont let rhodes or dibiase hold the belt yet tho which is a shame, but they ARE young. After Randy beats both members of legacy and proclaims himself as the greatest champion of all time, Cena says he wants a rematch....this happens at royal rumble....Randy retains in controversial fashion...and edge returns and wins royal rumble 2010 as a face and chooses to face Orton at WM 26 for the belt...setting up Orton vs Cena vs EDGE at WM 26!!
I can always hope right??! (probably never gonna happen, but oh well!)

 

[stillboy21]

I think it'll be between Cena and Orton for the rest of the year. Then hopefully a wild card will get it out of no where at no way out in the Elimination Chamber which will lead to Cena or Orton feuding with this guy until WM 26. After that they'll keep it up until the draft OR have Cena or Orton or the new guy have a small one PPV feud with someone else, like Cena and Edge at Backlash this year then the draft.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Orton is defintely going to win the title back soon. Cena and Orton will feud for a couple of months, but I really wonder who will Orton feud with next? Cena will be in the WWE championship picture for a very long time, it's just something people are going to have to get use to. I really don't see HBK in the hunt for the gold. He's already feuded with Cena and Orton. Even with a DX break up looming in the near future, I don't see WWE doing Triple H and HBK again. If that does happen, it will be only one match,and It'll proably take place at Mania 26.

 

[brainsuks123]

Orton...orton my fav but dont get me wrong here but the cena orton,hhh,cena,orton its so boring man.
We need fued like Cena And bourne cena and christain

Chris Jericho Maybe?
The only other heel besides randy Orton is the big show...
Jericho is their only because of the titles...
Triple H is a 13 time Champion and he's closing in on Ric Flair
(no need to rush that historic moment)
I'd love to see Shawn Michaels as the Champ one more time...
before he retires... I mean, they are obviously going to give Taker at least one more

I have a question....
Does anyone know how Triple H is on the Raw roster
I mean think about it... just months ago there was a feud between him, Jeff Hardy and Edge all on Smack Down.... The last thing I remember is the crazy Elimination Chamber matches when Edge became world Champ and Triple H became WWE champ...
and both titles were on Smack Down... until Triple H lost it...
Now it says he lost it to Randy but How if he was a Smack down Superstar...
Was it Wrestlemania? is that it?

 

["Cool Guy" Jensen]

Well, I'd say the obvious reason choice would be Randy Orton. However, even though the same few people have been winning the World Title one Raw, it hasn't exactly been person #1 to person #2 back to person #1 as often as you may think, if you know what I mean. Since Wrestlemania, the WWE Championship has gone from Triple H to Randy Orton to Batista to Vacant back to Randy Orton and now to John Cena. As you can see, Orton went from winning to losing the title twice. I find it very unlikely that he will regain the title for the third time in the same fashion.

With Batista off to Smackdown, that could either be a bad thing or a good thing. If WWE wanted to continue the Cena/Orton fued, Batista would have been a brilliant addition to the fued. If WWE wants Triple H to remain in DX for a while out of the title picture, then we'll have to see Cena/Orton for a few more months. Also with Batista on Smackdown, you can have more room to make stars. Unfortunately, Raw doesn't do a good job creating new stars.

Depending on how long John Cena holds the WWE Championship this time around, will likely determine who he loses the title to. If he has a short title reign lasting just a month or two, then Orton will likely be the next champion. However, if he has one of those longer title reigns of 5+ months, then we'll likely see someone else winning the title. I feel it'll be Triple H, but HOPEFULLY I AM WRONG!

Let's all hope Shawn Michaels is the one to end John Cena's title reign. We can see John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels III, the rubber match for the WWE Championship in a Wrestlemania 23 rematch. This time with HBK coming out on top. Not likely... more wishful thinking.

 

[deshbo]

I been watching wrestling for many years and i see it not getting any better now than how it used to be before because all you see in the main event is the same wrestlers. It like they lack wrestlers because you don't see any new ones wrestling in the main event. What happen to guys like Mark Henry and others? The way i see with the wrestlers is most of them might as well go somewhere else because they not getting any chance at the championship belt.

Chris Jericho Maybe?
The only other heel besides randy Orton is the big show...
Jericho is their only because of the titles...

Was it Wrestlemania? is that it?

no he got drafted to raw and lost the title at backlash in a 6 man tag match for the title featuring legacy and orton vs batista Shane mcmahon and hhh

This is how they could freshen up the main event scene on RAW:

At Hell In The Cell have Randy Orton beat John Cena cleanly. Next night on Raw, they promote the Bragging Rights PPV, where the fans have they're say, and do 3 qualifying matches with the winners going onto the vote to face Randy Orton. The qualifying matches being:
The Miz v. John Cena
Triple H v. Jack Swagger
Shawn Michaels v. MVP

Then have MVP, Miz and Swagger all win cleanly. It would put them over, after all, the 3 opponants had all been invovled in Hell in the cell matches the previous night.

At the PPV (MVP will likely get the vote to face Orton), they can have DX invovled in a triple threat match against Jerishow and Legacy, where the fans pick the stipulation. (Tornado, Elimination, No DQ).

 

[I own a set of balls]

What part of this don't you really get?

How is it bad to have them dominate the championship scene of RAW for a few years? They're established superstars, Randy is one of the newer established main eventers. And now you're accusing him of dominating the scene when he's made it to this level? He's suppose to dominate this scene. If he didn't, he wouldn't be a solid main eventer.

If the WWE constantly places newer guys in the scene, who is going to care about wrestling in general? I mean, in your words, if we placed the Miz for a 3 months, then he gets stale and let's move onto Swagger, MVP, Morrison and etc each of them having a short terms of spotlight in the championship scene, then who the hell is going to care about the WWE?

By the way, how are they not building newer superstars in SmackDown and ECW? Morrison and Ziggler are prime examples of the WWE placing focus on them. Morrison has been here I believe for nearly 5 years? Just a few months ago he had a match with Jeff Hardy, a main eventer, didn't he? Same as Ziggler, he recently came back, and is already top in the mid card scene, even having matches with Morrison, who's about to break the boundary of the mid card division and rise up.

So I ask you, what is it that you want from the WWE?


Back onto your "tiresome circle of Triple H, randy and Cena". You see, they're main eventers, they have solid positions, they ARE SUPPOSED to be dominant.

Having 3 top dogs constantly switching in and out of the showcase just for your personal satisfaction will deplore all 3 men's credentials that took years for them to build.

Plus, who really cares about the "rising new stars" right now? The IWC that can't seem to make up its mind about what they want from the WWE? Or do most of the casual fans, the millions worldwide that could care less about backstage details of the WWE care?

Really, the IWC means nothing in the WWE's eyes. The WWE is focused on the average human who believes that real punches are being thrown in front of their eyes despite a 3 inch gap. They are the ones who mark out for those two "tiresome" wrestlers who are pitted against the ultimate main event villain.

 

[Nascarman]

HHH is the next WWE champ. i don't like it, but that is the way it will be. This is what will happen. Cena and Orton will fude for the next 2 PPV. after that some one will face him to lose. earthier HBK, MVP, Swagger, or Miz. Cena will beat whoever it is making him look dominate. HHH will find a way to get in Wrestle Mania ME for HHH vs Cena 3 and HHH will win.
Like i said I don't like it but that is how it is.


IF YOU DON'T KNOW KNOW YOU KNOW

 

[whoopwhoop12]

Having Batista move to Smackdown opens up possibilities for one NEW star to gain the spotlight. Who "really" wants to see another transition between Cena, Orton and HHH again? I don't. Give Randy his rematch, lose, go another month and lose again. Have Cena build something new with someone else. Knowing now that WWE is going gimmick Pay Per Views, I want someone new to take advantage from this gimmick, but not diminish the persons character through the themed Pay Per View. So who is worthy enough to take the title if Cena doesn't drop it to HHH or Orton? Or if he does, who to earn it from HHH or Orton?

Big Show - everytime, the giant who is a threatening presence, but never actually wins.

HBK - i might think he is gonna get one more short title run. He's been out of the picture for some reason and I wouldn't mind him getting a run in.

DiBiase/Rhodes - for some reason if Orton is given back the belt, the only way either of these men would win it if one of these guys takes it off of Orton. It would set up something new, fresh and start an interesting thing.

-Chris Masters - I don't know why...does he deserve it? no. Can he play the part...i think so. Might be short term, but he can be something of a threat and might capitalize on it. Hey if Jeff Hardy can have 2 strikes and win the WWE title. I'll give Masters a shot being people haven't forgotten about him. He still imposes as a threat when he's a heel.

MVP - I can, but I can't. MVP to me gets over then falls, gets over then falls...etc etc etc. Sometimes he can be the best, sometimes hes not that good. He's somewhat over on the fans, but not as much as I've seen most people on RAW. I think Miz as a heel is over than MVP as a face. It's sad, but true.

WHATS MOST LIKELY, NOW: DiBiase or Rhodes, but I will say whoever gets it first is gonna stand out more than the other in their careers.

 

[2rowdy4u]

hornswoggle haha no for reals i think it will be christian
i think christian will win the royal rumble and they will be one of the main events at wm. these 2 had a small feud when christian left in 2005 now its time to pick it back up and have christian move away from ecw

 

[IfDrizzyWasAWrestler]

I just looked at the Raw Roster.
and to be honest, and this is just my opinion, it will be John Cena vs Randy Orton until at least Tables, Ladders, and Chairs PPV. and the only reason I think this is because we must look at the Roster and designate who is chasing or feuding with who at the moment.

Women's Division as we know can't be champions.

The United States title race in my opinion is between these superstars at the moment
-Carlito, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, The Miz and maybe Primo

DX and Legacy have their feud happening.

Big Show is a Tag Team Champion. and supposedly Mark Henry and MVP are creating and building this "tag team" so we have to wait and see on this, or basically they arent in any US/World Championship Race.

The People who are not being used at all for title hunts right now, or are just house show material are everybody else on the Raw Roster i did not list.

So In the end, it only leaves John Cena vs Randy Orton and I think it will stay that way until someone comes up from ECW or Smackdown who is able to be champion and not look weak

Ex: Christian, Vladimir Kozlov, from Smackdown maybe bring Kane back to Raw, but this time make him back into the super dreaded monster he used to be. or even Matt Hardy, id love to see him with the WWE Championship, he "in my opinion" is better than his brother and his brother got that championship..why can't matt? is my question.

 

[instantkarmaVA]

I see Cena holding on to the belt for a while. The WWE will make tons of money during his reign. All the tweens will be happy and buy more shirts. We will all get sick of Cena.
Then hopefully around January during a promo Cena will be attacked by none other than a fully healed Edge. The wwe sucks when it comes to continuity. They will totally ditch the Edge/Jericho feud everyone is wanting to see. Edge will challenge him and beat him at the PPV that follows his return thus becoming the new WWE Champion.

 

[spiketbear]

I think this will be one of those years where two fresh faces become world champions for the first time. Remember that one year, where Batista won the Royal Rumble, and Cena did whatever he did, and two brand new guys became new faces of WWE at Wrestlemania. Also, the year where the new guys were Benoit/Geurrero is similar. So, who will win the Royal Rumble/Elimination Chamber this year?

Most likely: John Morrision, Christian, MVP, Jack Swagger, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes.

I also think a returning Edge has a chance to win, and maybe take on a World Champion Jericho at Wrestlemania.

 

[Johnny Dangerous]

My money is on Orton regaining the belt, and then Diabiase taking it from Orton at Wrestlemania.

 

[charlieboy]

i would like to see hbk win the belt he's my favourite all time wrestler, i would like to see him win at survivor series and keep the belt till wrestlemania and drop it to christian or edge.. the cena, triple h, orton thing is really boring. how good would it be for christian to have a run and the ratings shoot up like it does when edge has the belt. vinnie mac wouldnt know what to do. he has always said christian wast main event calibre, and batista IS....

 

[Tastycles]

The next champion of Raw will probably not be crowned until WrestleMania, and will probably be Randy Orton. Cena and ORton has enough life left in it for it to work on the biggest stage. Triple H will probably be facing HBK in a retirement match, so that rules him out. If he wasn't ruled out, then perhaps we will see Cena vs HHH there, which is the least tired of the three, but I'm not holding my breath. The only other possibility is Big Show, and I can't see him feuding Cena twice in one year, so my money is on ORton, unfortunately.

 

[The WWE Champion]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say either the Big Show or Chris Jericho. I know it's probably unlikely, but I'd love for this to happen.

 

[Blade]

I don't think Dibiase or Rhodes won't win it for quite a while. Not between now and Wrestlemania anyway. They've gotten 1 big win, over DX. And that momentum will probably be squashed at Hell in a Cell so Legacy will have to start from square one in terms of being credible enough to break away from Orton.

I think the next WWE champion outside Orton/Cena isn't on Raw right now.
I'm thinking along the lines or maybe Edge? He could very much return on Raw after sorting out his rivalry with Jericho, beat whoever's champion at the time. He'll definately have enough momentum through his return.
Then it could be someone who's on SD right now and wil be drafter over to Raw. Maybe CM Punk? or Undertaker?

I just don't think we're gonna see a champion other than Orton or Cena at least until after Wrestlemania.
