Cena makes perfect sense if they are just turning around and having Lesnar win the belt at Summerslam.
Giving guys like Reigns/Wyatt or Cesaro a short reign only to be fed to Lesnar would have hurt them in the long run.
Cena having a transitional reign (even though he is rapidly approaching Flair's number) doesn't bother me. In the big picture it is more bankable to do another Cena/Lesnar match than to feed any of the above guys to Brock. Hell Cena/Lesnar is more bankable than an Orton/Lesnar match
No mind you if Daniel Bryan was never hurt this match would never have happened and Bryan would have been the one to drop the belt to Lesnar at Summerslam. Following the god awful Kane/Bryan post Mania feud, which probably would have lead to a Cena/Bryan rematch before Summerslam Bryan wouldn't have been hurt all that much by dropping the Belt to Lesnar. Bryan could have once again began chasing the belt only to over Lesnar at Mania and in the long run it would have further elevated Bryan.
The question now becomes, if Bryan can't go by the Rumble who does Brock drop the title to at Mania? Right now I have to believe that Reigns is next logical choice to have challenge Brock, which would accomplish the same thing.

Actually dozed off during both ladder matches. Very disappointing PPV all around, especially the finish. But I agree, they didn't have alot of options. It would make sense to have Cena face Lesnar at Summerslam. Have to say the opening bout may have been the highlight. Goes to show how thinned out the talent is when ANY match featuring Fandango is not only shown on PPV, but on second to last. Granted, 14 guys were tied up in 2 matches, I guess, but my point is why not spotlight a Sami Zayn or an Adrian Neville in such a situation. Maybe getting a chance to see what they're missing on NXT may prompt PPV customers to order the network. Just a thought.

I thought the show was....not good. Hated the finish to the main event, almost puked when they called Cena the greatest WWE Champion. If Lesnar doesn't maul him and win the title at SummerSlam, I'm done with them.

If Lesnar doesn't maul him and win the title at SummerSlam, I'm done with them. Yeah that greatest WWE champion comment put me in a bad mood for the rest of the night. (Guess I shouldn't take this 'fake' stuff so seriously  ) This was the first entire WWE ppv I've watched in what has to be two years. And now I remember why: seeing Cena raise a belt at the end of every one of them was starting to raise my blood pressure. I'm not a Lesnar guy but anyone would be better than Cena for me. Fandango would be better! Also agree with lucifer: the opening match was the only one I liked even though I felt Harper and Rowan should have won. Not too big on the Usos. They are a serviceable team but too blah to be champions. Show's the WWE's ongoing contempt for tag team wrestling. |

Just the fact that Cena is now a 15-time champion cheapens the world title enough. To call him the greatest ever almost makes it worthless, too. It is definitely a new era of WWE wrestling, that's for sure. And I'm not sure I want to follow an era where titles mean almost nothing as opposed to a wrestler's "spot", like they're secondary or something. Hate to date myself, but not the rasslin' I grew up with, that's for sure!

If they needed a transition champion to get the belt over to Brock (who for the record I hope never holds the title, but that's just personal preference), I think they should have given it to Seamus.
It would have been a pleasant surprise to everyone who felt that Cena winning was a forgone conclusion, and Sheamus/Brock would at least be something new. And their match could have been entertaining in a smash mouth brutal kind of way.

Don't have as much of an issue with Cena as champ (think everyone expected it) as I do with the greatest champion ever nonsense. That and the fact that Cena now has 15 titles, while Bret Hart had 7 makes me ill. But I guess it truly is a different era
WWE needed to put the belt on a known commodity until Lesnar takes it or Bryan comes back and I agree, the timing isn't right for Reigns, Cesaro or Wyatt. Yet...

SuperCena a 15 time champ................Piper, Muraco, Dibiase, Orndorff ZERO times...............makes me want to vomit! Stone Cold said before last night Cena and HHH have had the belt enough and should not be a champion ever again, I agree.

totally forgot there was a ppv last night until it was just underway.
i don't really have a problem with Cena getting the title. if he drops it to Bray Wyatt people will forget being upset real quick.
yeah the amount of reign's is rediculous, but that's another product of the belts flip flopping around so much for so long.
