Tonight is very special night. John Cena as of today, has tied both his and JBL's record of 280 days as WWE Champion. That record is the longest in the decade. If John Cena wins tonight, he willl have sole possession of that record. And if he goes on past Raw as champion, he will pass Batista as the longest reigning champion in the WWE for the decade. With that said, John Cena has no easy task tonight. But when does he ever? Tonight might be John Cena's biggest test, well....since The Great Khali. He has to face four unique opponents. Mick Foley, King Booker, Randy Orton, and Bobby Lashley.
I want myself and others go in order on who they think has the most likely chance of winning tonight and why.
1.John Cena-He the's champ and he has been for nine months. He has beat them all and he has beat them in every type of match. Since winning the title last September, John Cena has defeated Edge, Umaga, Shawn Michaels, and The Great Khali in single title matches. Not to mention he defeated Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, and Edge in a Fatal Four Way Match. Also not to mention he defeated The Great Khali and Umaga in a Triple Threat Match.
Since becoming the champ two years ago, John Cena has defeated nearly every competitor thrown in his way to retain his title. Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, and Triple H to name a few. He has retained in every type of match just about out there. I Quit, Last Man Standing, Pinfalls Anywhere, Special Ref, Triple Threat, Fatal Fourway, Elimination Chamber, Steel Cage, TLC, etc.
Can John Cena do it once again? I think you can never ever count out Superman, whoops I mean Cena.
2.Bobby Lashley-The reason I rate Lashley second is simple. He has received the biggest and fastest push in the WWE this year. He was ECW's champ for most of the year, but his biggest push came with his Vince McMahon storyline. Bobby Lashley is now one of WWE's biggest fan favorites along with John Cena and Batista. If WWE ever could pass the WWE championship over to another face, the time would be now.
3.King Booker-King Booker is rated 3rd because he is the only other guy aside from Lashley, who actually has a chance of winning the belt based on booking. King Booker can be one of the top heels on Raw and it could feud with John Cena over the next few months. If anyone has a chance of becoming WWE champion and having John Cena chase them, it is him.
4.Randy Orton-Randy Orton based on recent storyline would be one of the odds on favorites. Orton has taken out two legends and is really in Legend Killer mode right now. More than ever Orton seems determined to elevate himself and capture world gold again. However, on the flip side. Orton is only being pushed to feud with a returning Triple H. Plus Orton just ripped up a hotel room a few months ago, so the chances of him having the title put on him are actually very slim to none.
5.Mick Foley-The guy who should be coming out to Vince's music, because that basically sums up his chances. If we were picking based on wrestling, Foley would be just as a big threat as anyone. He's hardcore, he's uncanny, he's unpredictible, he's unstable. However, he is not a full time wrestler so dont expect to see him win tonight.
