WWE Fatal 4-Way: John Cena (c) v. Sheamus v. Randy Orton v. Edge - WWE Title

[gd]

Call it jealousy, envy or just primal instinct. For whatever reason, on any given day, WWE Champion John Cena has a bull’s-eye painted squarely on his back. And most every Superstar in WWE is busy stalking The Champ with a quiver of poison-tipped arrows.

Usually, Cena must only escape the projectiles of a solitary opponent. At Fatal 4-Way, however, The Champ will be caught in the crossfire of three other warriors: Edge, Randy Orton and Sheamus. Cena, as king of the mountain, will be forced to dodge more than his share of fire, but each Superstar will also have their own crosshairs to bear – and elude.

While Sheamus is the least experienced of the combatants, The Celtic Warrior has already logged a brutal history with both Cena and Orton. The great unknown in the bout appears to be how he and Edge will match up – brute force against intense cunning. The other competitors have taken years to size up their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, making victory for any of these men all that more elusive, although any can win as long as they secure the first pin

How comes nobody's made this yet? I'd reckon "no one cares" is a pretty good answer, but I'll gladly step up as a man and do it.

Cena is the longest reigning champ in the company, at something like 2 months, good stuff. Sheamus has pretty much been acting like a dick and being awesome for awhile getting all up in Cena's buisness. Edge and Orton recently started an underwhelming fued together and their last match was cut short when Orton nearly broke his fucking arm, but I think it turned out to be a separated shoulder or something.

Obviously this is going to be somewhat of a clusterfuck, both main events will, but it combines what would've been 2 matches into one, which is always interesting and frees up some time for some other stuff, like, uhh, John Morrison or some shit like that.

I think it's a little too early for Cena to lose the belt here, but if it were to happen Sheamuse seems like the logical choice. They're heading towards some sort of feud in the future, or so it seems. Then again, Orton/Edge could be spruced up with the title involved, but I wouldn't be a fan of either of those guys getting the win here.

The world wants to know, what do you think of this match? Will it just be a slight clusterfuck or a complete mess? How many times will Orton be compared to a reptile? Will the champ actually be there? You decide.

Does anyone else think Jericho may sneak into this match last minute, like when he replaced Punk before the Championship Scramble match. If Orton's arm is really broken than sneaking Jericho in last minute would definitely be an option. If Jericho doesn't manage to get into this match than I'd like to see Sheamus get another title run, maybe even pinning Cena in the process, thus giving Sheamus an edge over Cena that no other wrestler really has.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Well I don't have a great idea as to who will win this one. I don't think Orton will win this because I think they are going to build him up alot more before he takes the belt again. Edge is a possibility to win if they go the win the belt to get him over route, Edge has been struggling to get a great reaction since his return, not saying he isn't getting one, but they have been nowhere near what they were when he was still on Smackdown pre-injury. I don't really think Sheamus will take it just yet but be in the hunt and have another fued with Cena over the belt. I'm leaning towards Cena retaining here though since he just won the belt back a couple monthes ago and I don't think they will have him chasing the title already after the fued with Batista.

So my thinking has me going with Cena retaining at Fatal Fourway, mostly since he just got the belt back recently.

 

[Layorz]

Just thinking about it, Jericho is really the only replacement for Orton that makes sense, assuming Orton can't compete. It'd also be interesting to see how Jericho reacts to Sheamus. I wouldn't mind seeing Sheamus in the Walls

But yeah, the match should be good and hopefully Orton does compete. I was getting the feeling that while Orton may not have won this one, the WWE are setting him up for a championship reign. That all said, I think the booking is gonna be Cena, because none of the others are in the right position to take it right now. Sheamus should win the title after a lengthy feud with the champ, not in a free for all ring event. He needs the credibility of being able to dominate a champ one on one, and cleanly at that.

 

[3,000 Pound Gorrilla]

I am going to have to go with Cena on this one. He just retained against Batista and isn't really fueding with any of the participants. Sheamus has been kicking people in the face randomly for a while, so one for the Champ was probably due. I mean after the "You look like a jar of mayo with eyes and a ketchup hair-do!" comment Cena laid on Sheamus, I would kick him too!! But seriously... Being a Orton man myself, (no gay or nuthugger comments please) I wish it were time for the Viper to get some gold again, but it isn't. Orton doesn't need gold to be over either. And Edge, well, Edge is Edge. He will end up being a 4,003 time World Champ before he retires... But not this time. So, Cena will retain, setting up a fued with Shemayonnaise. And RKO and Rated "R" will beat each other up AGAIN and then move on to another fued. And there you have it.

 

[greg_74]

I voted for Sheamus, but I could see Cena keeping the belt for a couple months and losing it to him then. Idk I just don't see Edge winning it right now, maybe in a couple months and I really want Orton to win, but I don't think he'll win because he's so popular right now without the title and the whole arm/shoulder thing. So... Cena will pry win but I'm voting for "The Pale White Irish Guy."

 

[pessimism101]

I voted for Sheamus, but I don't really care who becomes champion as long as Cena loses. I can see someone winning the match by pinning anyone other than Cena leading to a Cena/New Champion program heading into SummerSlam, where Cena can say that he was never pinned or forced to submit and therefore wants another shot at the title. I don't see a heavy emphasis at Money in the Bank since, clearly, that's all about who wins the guaranteed title match, so I don't see Cena winning the title back at that PPV.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Cena's going to keep it. Orton and Edge have their own thing going on so I believe that no matter what, neither of them will get it. On the other hand, I suspect the Cena/Sheamus feud will continue onward as well and the whole point behind the feud is that Sheamus wants the title back. If Cena were to lose it to Orton or Edge, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. So I see Cena taking it, but on the off chance he loses it, it'll be Sheamus.

 

[ThePh3nomonal1]

Lol @ poster, your right no one does care about this match. But as for my prediction I think Cena will win because Randy doesn't need it, neither does Edge and I think Cena should hold it a little longer before losing it to Sheamus. So I'm guessing Cena to get the win via FU on Sheamus to begin a fued.

 

[Slowdude]

Voted Cena only because I want a long title reign for once even if it is Cena. Sheamus can feud with Cena after this for the title. Orton and Edge's feud doesn't need a title in it (if Orton can wrestle this match and keep going). If Cena must lose here I'm all up for Sheamus winning again. Again Edge and Orton don't need the title right now.

 

[Ferbian]

I'm not sure who I have backed in this match, really, that's one of the problems with a good length of the contenders in this match, John Cena has held the championship beyond the last year's average times, Randy hasn't held the championship since John Cena beat him for it, Edge hasn't held the championship for over a year, and Sheamus held the championship a decent time ago but has improved a lot and could be in for another.

My thought would be that John may very well retain it, but I wouldn't bet anything on it, because they all have potential to walk out as the champion, so I'm gonna have to leave it blank.

 

[mr_dna]

Well Cena will probaly win .

I cant see them giveing Orton or Edge the title as i dont see there feud as finished . Unless they give one the title and finish there feud at SS with the title on the line which would be a good idea because Edge orton is a lot better then a cena sheamus feud hell id rather see a chavo hornswoggle feud .

I hope sheamus dont get it i think HHH needs to run in finish his feud with sheamus and beat him down to the Midcard or even better the future endeavors list his is the biggest waste of space in WWE

Anyways that my 2 cents

 

[Judah's Lion]

tough call. and i do care a little bit about this match.

i'm gonna go against the flow a little bit and say that it could either be Sheamus or Edge and honestly, i'd be okay with either.

i doubt RKO will win if only because he doesn't need the title to be over and because he is injured. in fact, an easy way to write Randy out of the decision is to either have him being the one pinned or submitting due to his injury or have him laid out on the outside of the ring because of his injury. either way, Orton doesn't win this time.

so maybe Edge hits the spear on Cena but before he goes for the pin, Sheamus lays out Edge with the pump kick. he then hits Cena with the Celtic Cross and gets the clean pin on Cena to win the title. makes him look legit and doesn't make Cena look too weak cuz it took two finishers to pin him. and all the while, Orton is laid outside the ring, so he doesn't look weak. he just looks injured, which he is.
then, Sheamus and Cena match up at MITB and Sheamus retains cleanly. so now Cena has lost his rematch clause and this sets up a return of Triple H to feud with Sheamus at Summerslam. that could be one route. not saying it's gonna happen or that i want it to happen, per se, but just that it could happen.

other option is to have Edge win the title, much like the Sheamus win theorized above. have Sheamus pump kick Cena to lay him out. Orton then hits the RKO on Sheamus to take him out. Edge throws Orton shoulder first into the turnbuckle to knock him outside. as Cena starts to get up, Edge hits the spear and gets the pin. so again, it took two finishers to put Cena down, so he doesn't look too weak, Sheamus isn't involved in the decision, so he's not buried, and Orton is legit injured, so nobody dogs on him. and then Edge wins. so now he gains a little extra heel heat because he's got the strap and he could cut a promo how the only way he can win the gold is by turning on the fans and their heroes, a la Cena.
have Edge beat Cena in a rematch on Raw, Orton beat Sheamus for a #1 Contender's spot on the same Raw and then you've got Edge vs. Orton at MITB. their last encounter was double countout, so have their MITB match end in a double DQ. so now, their match at Summerslam is no countout/no DQ for the title and to end the feud, with really this being the first match with one to get a clear pin in their feud. just another possibility there.

 

[darbare]

you have to think what are the matches gonna be for SummerSlam.....so i think WWE will continue Edge vs Orton in some way so they face at SummerSlam in a blowoff match...that of course lead Sheamus and Cena....I wouldnt mind seeing this match but it doesnt have enough intrigue for a main event at Summerslam....we could see Trips return and face Sheamus at Summerslam in a blowoff match for them....so i dont know who would face Cena.....maybe Jericho in a rematch from 2005....that could easily be setup....or they could miracuolously turn Morrison into a star heel and have him face Cena.....im thinkin either Jericho or Morrison by some chance for Summerslam which means Cena will retain through Fatal 4 Way & MITB

 

[Post]

I am going with Sheamus here.

He is being seen as much more dominant lately. Plus, in a fatal 4 way match, he can pin someone else, so it would appear that Cena is cheated out of the title. This would set up a rematch, where I can see Cena losing and doing some Kayfabe injury to give him time off.

Then Sheamus will be free to finish his program with Triple H at Summer Slam, where "The King of Kings" will win the title.

I agree with the person said that the Edge/Orton program will continue for a while, maybe even cumulating at Summer Fest...uh Slam (thanks Jeremy Piven).

 

[GeneralKarim]

Well Cena will probaly win .

I cant see them giveing Orton or Edge the title as i dont see there feud as finished . Unless they give one the title and finish there feud at SS with the title on the line which would be a good idea because Edge orton is a lot better then a cena sheamus feud hell id rather see a chavo hornswoggle feud .

I hope sheamus dont get it i think HHH needs to run in finish his feud with sheamus and beat him down to the Midcard or even better the future endeavors list his is the biggest waste of space in WWE

Anyways that my 2 cents

Your opinion is as of right now being ignored by everyone cause you just showed the entire world that you are THE waste of space here.Sheamus bashing is geting old.U would wish to be in his shoes.I suppose ure one of those kids that are so blind they confuse the new masked punk with little rey rey.

OT: If you look at it logically,Cena will retain because he is on a verge of beginning his feud with Sheamus ( or so it seems ).And Edge and Orton need a proper match to continue the feud.IT would be a shame to end it so abruptly.If Orton and his doctors decide he cannot compete then so be it but otherwise the feud must continue and since Batista is "anannana eehehehy goodbye" Sheamus is the logical choice for the wwe belt.

But now we have Jericho ( who is God himself btw ) who i guess needs a feud so either he'll be putting over some talent or maybe somehow get involved in the title picture.Wonder where Miz is in all of this ( not that he is), meaning that he is teaming up with Jericho, he had a feud with Cena, he just lost both titles (Not a BAD thing ), so maybe he'll make an appearance somehow.

 

[Oppurtunist]

I voted for Edge. Orton is injured, and it seems as a tough injury, sheamus shouldn't get a title right now, let him feud with Cena w/out championship on the line. I somehow see HHH getting involved around SummerSlam, as he wasn't a world champion for more than a year (yeah, thats much for him!). Also, either Miz or Christian will win MitB. But Edge is going to win

 

[ccotreau1]

I voted for Edge simply because Cena, Sheamus and Orton has held the title since October where Edge hasn't held the title since the end of January 2009, and I feel he's due for the title. Even though I want Edge to win and I voted for him, for some reason, I have the feeling Cena will retain the title.

 

[Ruthless-RKO]

I think Cena will win this...im guessing WWE want him to have a long title reign before he loses the title, so I don't think he will lose the title here...I can see a really good feud with Cena and Sheamus...it could go to the end of the year..if done well...

As for orton and edge, they can end their respected feud at Summer Slam...i think they could really pull it off in the main event match..but i don't think that'll happen..

 

[Judah's Lion]

just a wild thought that i wanted to add on to my previous post...

what if Edge won, as i semi-theorized before... Edge wins and beats Cena in a rematch on Raw. Orton beats Sheamus in a #1 Contender's match on the same Raw. this sets up an Edge/Orton main event at MITB. double DQ.
so now in the Edge/Orton feud, we have two matches that ended in double countout and double DQ with no clear winner.
so the main event at Summerslam is Edge/Orton for the title in a no DQ/no countout match to settle the score. have Edge win this one in a super tough battle. maybe involve some kind of weaponry or trickery. have Orton snap and RKO and punt Edge.

then, have Christian cash in his newly won MITB briefcase that he won at the previous ppv of the same name and pin Edge to win his first title. that gives Christian the much-deserved strap and immediately restarts a Christian/Edge feud.

thoughts?

 

[Taker45]

Cena will win, and go on to fued with Sheamus. Edge and Orton will go on to have a fued. I really dont care for either

 

[NearlyDead]

I voted for Cena, because I highly doubt he will be losing the title. But if he does, it will more than likely be to Randy Orton. I'd love to see Sheamus back with the title, I just loved it when he got the title from Cena in that tables match. The victory was great, with Cena basically falling off the ropes and through the table, something I wasn't expecting (which isn't like the WWE at all anymore, way too predictable).

 

[Super Geng Boy]

I think this shall be fun. Fatal four ways are like triple threats, they are not meant to be for five star wrestling clinics, but fun clusterfucks, but in a good way. I am expecting a break up into two feuds most obviously with Cena and Sheamus and Edge and Orton. I will go through all four of the competitors and give views on each ones chance of winning, I will start with the most likely first.

John Cena- I will be extremely shocked if they take the title of John right now. The guy has been a good champ so far and this is what the WWE need. A champion that will gather them both cash and rating but also make the belt look credible and doing so. There is no better man to do that than John Cena. The guy constantly puts on good matches and is the face of the company. Expect a Cena win here.

Sheamus- Definitely second favorite. But will he win? I highly doubt it. He certainly has more of a chance than Orton or Edge and to his credit he has been on fire lately. He has taken out the champ and all other competitors standing in his way. I will be annoyed if they give Sheamus the title as I think Cena deserves a long reign this time, however if they decide to give the title to someone else then the big Irishman is definitely the best choice.

Edge- This would be a huge swerve if they decide to give Edge the title. He is awesome and I am a fan, but if he is to continue his feud with a possibly injured Orton then the title is not necessary. I feel that Edge will somehow find a way to out Orton early in this match and then get overpowered by the two larger Cena and Sheamus. Still through, he will put in a great performance.

Randy Orton- What I said for Edge, if their feud is to continue, which is will, the title is far from necessary. I feel that he should take it easy for a couple of weeks, but if he is genuinely injured bad then should not compete. If this is the case then I would expect someone of Chris Jericho's compaction to come in and take his place. I hope he is fit through because Randy has great chemistry with everyone of his opponents in this match.

I feel this will be a great match actually, so no one should write it off just yet. My final prediction is a John Cena retain. However, they may pull what they did at TLC, there is only one way to find out.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Cena will win this match. I think Cena will have some what of a lengthy title run. It was painfully obvious he was NEVER going to lose the title back to Batista, and I don't think he's going to lose in this match.

I would like to see Orton as champion, because he's been riding a huge wave of momentum ever since before Wrestlemania, and I think he's long over due for a WWE title win, but because he's been injured recently, I don't think he'll get the strap just yet. For some reason, I believe Sheamus will get the title sooner than anyone else in this match, which will set up a feud with Triple H. Edge is huge question mark. I wouldn't mind seeing the R-Rated superstar win, but again, I don't see Edge becoming WWE champion too soon. I think the feud with Orton will resume at some point, and I really want to see that happen. I just hope WWE doesn't plan on doing Cena VS Edge AGAIN.

 

[DrEwMcInTyRe503]

hold on. i thought orton cant face cena for the wwe title. i bet jericho will sneak in at the last minute and then somewhere in the middle of the match orton comes in and attacks edge or someone else. kinda like at survivor series 08 when hardy couldnt fight but then came and attacked everyone. but then edge speared him then triple h and won the wwe title. so perhaps after orton attacks someone, jericho hits a codebreaker on orton and then on another person whos actually in the match and then win. hey anything can happen, who would have guessed edge would win that triple threat match?
