Wrong, Champion Cena will need heel challengers to mow down before Thrice in A Lifetime at Wrestlemania vs. The Rock.

John Cena has been the logical end for Rusev since the beginning unless WWE signed and cleared Kurt Angle to wrestle

I assumed Reigns honestly but okay John Cena will defend America's honour.

I can't wait for Cena to MS Paint pictures of Putin as a fat lady.

It would be a very WWE thing to do to build up a young guy for a year only to bring back a broken down 45 year old part timer to beat him.

Yeah there was no way anyone else but Cena was going to beat him. Just hope it isn't for the title.

Though, then again I thought they were going to drag this out to be Cena's Wrestlemania match if the main event was going to be Reigns/Lesnar.

It's doubly bad because a) I'm not ready for Rusev to lose yet and b) the logical programme would be for the title which implies Cena's beating Brock which means gently caress

Roman Reigns pinning Rollins is stupid. I wanted to see Dean get that Shield vengeance pin, and getting it on that tearful stomp would have been perfect.

That Cameron gently caress up was just to film a segment for the divas show right

I'm just gonna believe that was part of an angle and that she's not functionally retarded

Everything about that feels like a last minute Vince McMahon rewrite. I wouldn't be surprised if they still do an Ambrose/Rollins cell match and never mention this match again in the buildup.

Brock vs. Rusev would actually be interesting, so it will never happen. Instead the WWE will wisely spend Brock's appearance fee on another Big Show match.

It probably is but then that means she's playing a character that is incredibly stupid and doesn't know how to wrestle which is still funny to me

I kinda hope that if Kurt does come back, he pulls a Sgt. Slaughter because Jack Swagger is a terrible American.

I know it will never ever happen because it would be logical and good but I want Lesnar to chump Cena again and then the Authority put him in a feud with Rusev because he doesn't deserve to be in title contention anymore.

Big Show is much larger than a vanilla midget like CM Punk so you're naturally higher off the ground when attempting the bridge

DDP Yoga would probably be more popular if it included a life size/weight Big Show mannequin to bridge

I'm thinking if Cena wins Sunday I'm gonna just stop even following the weekly product and just watch old Raw's/Nitro's and NXT. I'm giving them money still but at least I'm not getting a headache from dumb booking.

Haven't watched Raw in over a month. Always record then ask if it was worth watching. The answer is always no so I just delete it

Nitro and PPV's for me

What? I don't get how this follows. I see Cena/Rusev meaning it's MORE likely Cena doesn't win. Why?

1) Brock would still have his rematch.
2) Cena/Rusev reeks of a placeholder feud for Cena since Brock will, in my scenario, still have the title.
3) The thrust of that feud would still be Russia vs. USA, which means the title isn't needed.

I know I said I wasn't gonna post this week but unfortunately for me my internet is being so ungodly slow (by modern standards) that browsing the forums is mostly all I can do. :shobon:

Also I still maintain they had Reigns win so Reigns/Rollins at NoC will be No DQ so that Rollins can cheat to win AND it'd set up the murder spot Dean could save Roman from. Does no one else honestly see this as a possibility? It's dumb, yes, but there's a reasonable amount of logic behind it given Seth talking so much about wanting to end Reigns, and it's certainly more logical than a Dean turn.

Rusev being fed to Cena is fine, although I wish they'd wait until Mania. This really does call for a flag waving patriotic face and Cena's the top guy in that category. Do you really want to see Bryan or Ambrose waving the flag and talking about how the US is the best?
