Why is Cena having such short feuds in terms of PPV series. Not that I really want to see Big Show main eventing several PPV's in a row but they've already lost the momentum of the Brock appearance and now Show turns and loses his first PPV match as a heel.

I do wonder where Cena goes now. He's been out of the title picture, but in the ME picture for awhile now.

Kane - I suppose it may have worked for some. Not for me.
Rock - worked.
Lesnar - worked.
Big Show - I don't think that worked for anybody.

:dontknow: It doesn't seem like he'll be jumping right back into the championship race because there are two face champions.

Here's a list of Heels we could potentially see cena feud with

Del Rio - seen it. Maybe they fight for number one contendership where Del Rio gets the upperhand?

Jericho - comes back and works with cena? This could be a possibility and Jericho could make this work.

Dolph Ziggler - Would be same as del rio. They could only fight for number one contendership.

Tensai - Errmm, I'm afraid they might go this route.

It's either those 4 or they bring someone back again. I suppose they could turn a face heel like they did with Show.

What I want to see happen is Cena jump in for R-Truth as the tag team champion. Teaming with Kofi and keeping him there to hopefully bring some more interest to the tag belts.

You're right. It's a pretty pointless combination of putting way too much focus on a guy, and not putting enough focus on him at the same time. I think it's really hurting the product that the Main Event of every pay per view is just a guy going through the motions. Punk (and the entire Aj storyline) should at least be given the chance to main event. It's the most thought out thing they've done for a while.

Unless they shock us tonight and bring back a huge name to line up next to cena, I don't see how punk/bryan/kane/aj isn't the main event at MITB. Unless the MITB match is the actual main event. Where Punk/Bryan/Kane/AJ would be two.

It's so frustrating, they need to start treading the feuds like there is something to them over a period of time. Show basically comes out and turns on everyone in a match with Cena/Johnny, has one follow up PPV and Cena wins ending the feud. Back in the day, McMahon would have stables to rely on so that if Cena beats a Shawn Michaels, the feud continues with DX and HHH. They really need to start establishing some heel and face stables to carry out full storylines. When they have a wrestler that can actually work, make it a series of PPV matches, not just one.

"He pushed me as far as anyone has pushed me as World Heavyweight Champion," The Great White says to WWE.com. "And I'll be honest, there was a couple of really close ones out there where I had just enough to kick out. Make no mistake about it, I love to fight, Dolph Ziggler proved to tonight that he likes to fight too, and I'll be honest, he's this close away (makes hand gesture) from breaking into the next level. My hat's off to him."

He continues, "But again, I walked away at No Way Out as World Heavyweight Champion, and tonight, I think I've deserved a few more pints."


Talk about putting your opponent over. That's some straight up Ric Flair type **** right there.

Ric Flair could deliver that promo as a face or a heel and still come out looking strong. He's that good. Good on Sheamus for doing that.

Ziggler has been right there for a year now IMO.

For me, this AJ storyline is like Season 5 of The Wire. All the characters I love are there, and it's good, but it's not season 4. So I'm kind of just sitting here awkwardly while McNulty ties another red ribbon around a dead guy's finger, thinking to myself "wtf... this doesn't make any sense". But it's still sure as hell better than Lost.

Just got done watching Dolph/Sheamus. That was probably the match of the night. Glad to see the crowd so behind Ziggler and lol @ King saying "listen to the WWE universe - let's go Sheamus!" when they were clearly chanting let's go Ziggler :lol:
