It may not impress many, but the current WWE Championship match penciled in for WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans has been revealed. During an interview in India while visiting to promote WWE’s appearance in December, Triple H stated that although he is not going to reveal any of the matches for next year’s event, the goal is always to make it better than the year before.

This year, the WWE Championship match was between champion Bray Wyatt and challenger Randy Orton. This match, which was filled with theatrics all throughout, was heavily criticized by many. The match was also the culmination of Orton feuding with Wyatt starting in the latter part of 2016, only to join him, win the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship with him, and eventually turn his back on Wyatt to reveal that was his plan all along.

For the next WrestleMania, the WWE Championship picture looks to be what a number of fans would consider underwhelming, based on the reaction usually given to both potential competitors. According to the Wrestling Observer, the current talks is for Jinder Mahal to retain the title until the “grandest stage of them all” on April 8. His opponent is rumored to be John Cena. Mahal also mentioned during a Facebook Live interview that his dream opponent for WrestleMania would indeed be Cena.

Subsequently, this also means that Cena is a frontrunner to win the Royal Rumble match on January 28 in Philadelphia. This would tie Cena with Steve Austin for most Royal Rumble wins in the history of the series, previously winning in both 2008 and 2013. This would also be circled around Cena breaking Ric Flair’s record of the most recognized world championship reigns in pro wrestling history.

Cena and Mahal have previously faced each other in the ring on television, as they competed on SmackDown Liveleading into the SummerSlam pay-per-view. However, the match was interrupted by Baron Corbin, as he attacked Cena. Corbin then tried to cash his Money in the Bank contract on Mahal, but was unsuccessful due to distraction from Cena.

With the WWE Championship once again being at a lesser level of a marquee feel, there are some who believethat Cena breaking the record against Mahal, who had no credibility before winning the title, and has not brought much credibility to the title since having it, would also be underwhelming.

I'm okay with Cena winning, but Mahal will go Mania as champion? Ludicrous.

I'm sticking with my prediction that Roman wins the Rumble.

AJ will take the title off Juicer at Rumble.

Nakamura will win the Elimination Chamber(if it's a SD PPV like this year; if not then he wins the Rumble and Roman wins EC)

This way we get AJ vs Nakamura and Brock vs Roman as our top Championship matches

We act like JBL was a runaway hit.... but outside of the Eddy program...it was mainly this type of booking.

You know, that doesn't sound very appetizing to me from a wrestling standpoint but I do have to admit it seems like a good booking and business strategy. Plus the fans will be on Cena's side a way they haven't been in many moons I'm guessing. Not bad.

Yeah I'm not into Cena winning, give it to another guy. If Cena wins it, he faces Mahal beats him and then we get another boring ass reign till he faces Styles again and we have the same great matches, but eventually that will get boring and then what?

This is pretty much what I would do and what I think will happen.

At this point the only money match left to be had with Lesnar is Roman and we should keep that for Mania.

Nakamura has been built slowly and steadily since coming up and his final coronation will be with AJ.

Quite possibly the only time ever that i'm praying for Cena to bury someone so far that they're beyond recovery.

Cena going part-time has to be a factor in whether he gets another push on top. Maybe WWE see him as a safe pain of hands and the guy to give Jinder the rube. If they do go with Cena this maybe his last big run. He's getting more and more movies, and probably has nothing more to do in the biz.

I am fine with Cena getting it over. Jinder is so boring but I like it to Hogan vs Slaughter. So Cena will be getting all of the cheers.

At least Slaughter did something right in that run. That Iraqi heat was crazy. Canceling an arena supposedly?

:WOW
