There are some major Superstars injured in the WWE, one of them being John Cena.
John Cena, arguably the most popular and polarizing Superstar in the business, was sidelined due to elbow surgery about two months ago. He was supposed to be out for 4-6 months -- but Cena likes to fight hurt, and rise above hate, and never give up, and all that crap, so he's returning earlier than he should. And by that I mean he shouldn't come back.
Since Cena left, I haven't missed him for a single minute. The events are just as good without him, if not better, and I fear that when he comes back, deserving guys who are getting pushes will be pushed aside. There are a lot of up-and-coming wrestlers who need more air time, and Cena generally takes up at least 30 minutes of every Monday Night RAW he's on. That's 1/6 of the show.
Now, I'd be fine if Cena helped push some younger guys up the ladder. Ryback and Curtis Axel are benefiting greatly from feuding with CM Punk, and Cena works best when he's giving legitimacy to new Superstars. Cena needs to feud with guys like Ryback (which he has before) and stay out of the title picture. Unfortunately, when Cena returns at Hell in a Cell, he'll be doing so against Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship. All I have to say about that is: Nooooooooooo!
I'm sure there are people who miss Cena and can't wait for him to return, but I'm not one of them. I'll be happy if Cena sticks to helping rising stars...rise...but I'm sick of seeing him with gold around his waist. And if CM Punk doesn't need a championship belt to be relevant, neither should John Cena.
Until next time, have a nice day, and don't be a jabroni.
As long as Cena draws the merchandise $ and the WWE continues to lack faith in anyone else being "the guy".......
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with Cena being "the guy" for financial/promotional reasons, but he's best when he's fighting against injustice or standing up for his beliefs, and those stories don't need a belt to be relevant.
