Money in the Bank Backstage news on the WWEWHC at MITB

[Rogue]

Seeing as the winner will most likely be a transitional champion then Cena would be the best choice. It's too soon for most of the competitors, and I'd rather their first reign last more than a month or two.

 

[The GOAT]

Looking at it in terms of Lesnar's dates/schedule and dirtsheet rumours, it seems that Lesnar wins the belt at SummerSlam. Immediately someone cashes-in their briefcase and faces Cena at NoC. Brock goes away again and is still protected because he hasn't lost a 'proper' match yet.

Ideally, Lesnar would win the title at the Rumble and drop it at Mania, like the Rock did, but they need Network buys now. Also hope we still get Bryan v Brock at some point, which should be incredible.

That seems the obvious scenario, but who could you possibly see cashing in on him? Cesaro would seem like an ideal candidate if its meant to plant the seeds for a (non-title) match between he and Lesnar at Wrestlemania next year, but the only way that's a probable scenario is if Cesaro challenges the holder of the briefcase and wins it from him... Which is a very meh scenario to me and also quite predictable. Plus, a huge reason for Lesnar winning the title would be to draw more eyes and attention to the product with an actual title reign (even a short one), especially one that culminates in him putting over someone like Reigns at Wrestlemania. Having him lose the championship seconds after winning it wouldn't really accomplish that in as big way as possible, and I don't have complete confidence that they would have Lesnar win the title again later on shortly before Wrestlemania.

In the event that someone does cash in on Brock and he doesn't win the championship again later on, then at least let him keep it till Night Of Champions or Hell In A Cell (if I were a briefcase holder, I'd think the smartest thing to do would be to cash in on the champion after they competed inside the cell, especially if it's a competitor like Brock.) His dates aren't really a problem imo because none of us know if he's agreed to work more dates or not.

I wouldn't say it's "too early" for Cesaro. The dude needs to be built up more after they wasted the rub he got at Wrestlemania, but talent-wise he's there and he's over enough (like "We love this guy!" over, not the "Oooh cool new guy" over Reigns is) to withstand a 2-month long title reign that ends to a "credible in defeat" loss to Brock... but I digress, since he's not winning.

Is there any way that Brock vs Cena could happen at Summerslam, but NOT for the title? Have someone else win this match, then Cena cuts a promo on Raw and Brock jumps the barricade and beats his ass or something like that? So that way they can let Brock win without losing the title for the rest of the year, lol.

Sans one of the Shield guys cashing in the briefcase, the problem is that there's really no other option. There's no compelling matchup without Brock or Bryan for the belt right now, is there?

Don't even say it, Waco... 1:

Hoping we get Cena (c) vs. Cesaro at the next PPV BattleGround. Would be a definite MOTYC.

Give Hunter the belt, he transitions it to Bryan. : (it'd compell me damnit)

How on earth can you want more The Authority vs. Daniel Bryan? Have you been watching RAW at all in the past year?

Well, I'm just a Hunter mark and would like to see him with the belt. Don't really want to see the same storyline, was just joking.

I'm calling HHH vs Cena at Battleground.

No chance. It's Cena vs. Kane. They will put a big stipulation on it to make it seem a bit more interesting, like buried alive. Although, they could merge the two feuds (Cena/Kane & Orton/Reigns) for a fatal fourway, but I doubt it.

 

[The GOAT]

Cena's not winning it. No reason to. Nor any buildup.

Never doubt Mr. Hustle, Loyalty and Respect when it comes to winning matches... unless he's wrestling Jesus or something. And even then, assume there's still a 1% chance of him winning.

As for Battleground, I doubt they'd put Cena/HHH at a PPV like Battleground (which is essentially a filler B-PPV between MITB, which has become one of their bigger PPVs, and Summerslam.) In fact, to make HHH's matches more special and must-see, they should keep him in a suit-and-tie in his authority role and out of the ring completely until it's time for him to wrestle Roman Reigns.

There was a report yesterday that Cena/Orton/Reigns could go at it in a triple threat at Battleground, which then leads to Reigns/Orton at Summerslam (instead of Battleground, where it was originally booked to happen) while Reigns/HHH's first one-on-one encounter could be saved for Night Of Champions instead of Summerslam. I wouldn't mind it going down this way.

Of course, Kane (urgh) and Cesaro are possibilities for Cena to wrestle at Battleground as well.

Why is John Cena winning the belts such a tragedy?

 

[BaraaKhalaf92]

For the first time in years, I don't see Cena winning the belt as a tragedy..
Maybe because of the rumors that he is going to drop it to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam..
Hopefully we will get to see him lose clean in his feud with Brock, especially that Brock already broke the Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak clean, so it won't make any sense for him to need to cheat to beat Cena.

But then again knowing WWE, I've learnt to never get my hopes high, especially when it comes to them booking Cena to put someone over.
