John Cena made his return to the WWE last week after taking some time off to work on a Fox reality show. Since he’s been gone Roman Reigns has become the champ and the face of the company. With the Royal Rumble coming up in a few weeks the internet is buzzing about who is going to win and face Reigns in Dallas at Wrestlemania 32.
Brock Lesnar has become the favorite to win the Rumble and face Reigns in a rematch from last year’s ‘Mania main event. Last year Seth Rollins crashed the party and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and pinned Reigns to win the belt. A Lesnar vs Reigns rematch is intriguing but it’s hard to sell another match as the main event on the biggest show of the year.
Another option going around Twitter and the internet is John Cena. Cena is the top guy in the WWE and having him win the Rumble isn’t a stretch at all. He’s done it before and Cena vs Reigns is a big match that could headline Wrestlemania 32. The problem is having two babyfaces go at it can divide the audience and it’s something the WWE tends to stay away from. The best option is to finally turn John Cena heel.
Cena has stated in the past that he doesn’t want to turn heel until there is someone who is ready to take over and do the Make a Wish and other charitable appearances he does. It’s no secret that Cena does a lot of appearances and goes out of his way to do things for sick kids. If Reigns is the guy now the WWE needs to put out there and get him doing all the things that Cena takes so much pride in for the fans.
If they are going to turn Cen now is the right time. Fans are split 50/50 when he comes out. The kids and women love him while the men and hardcore fans despise him. With him now taking on some big movie roles in Trainwreck, Sisters and Daddy’s Home it would be easy to put him in a similar Hollywood gimmick that Hulk Hogan embraced when he turned in the late 90s.
Cena could win the Rumble by some underhanded tactics that take out Dean Ambrose. The next night on RAW he can come out and turn heel and become “Hollywood” Cena. That sets up a red hot Cena vs Reigns for the title at Wrestlemania.
When you think about it, it’s the best option that the WWE has. Unless Rock is going to face Reigns. They really need to go with Cena as a heel. But given the WWE’s history they will probably play it safe and we wind up with Reigns vs Lesnar.
