Night of Champions Cena/Lesnar rematch confirmed for Night of Champions

[Leo C]

Another squash.

 

[Senhor Perfect]

I hope Cena loses in record time in a 1998 Goldberg-esque squashing. It's what's best considering whoever beats Lesnar after that will be made, whether it's Reigns or Wyatt or whomever else they want to give the ball to.

 

[Leo C]

It'll be fun to see Brock squash him again.

 

[Bort]

Too soon. I mean, what will the story look like, what's the pitch here? Cena just got demolished into pieces. I guess he's gonna "fight harder", but eh...

 

[WarMachine1]

What I think will happen. Lesnar beats Cena again. Lesnar and Heyman then say that since they have beaten the best of WWE, they will go home and won't return until they find someone who DESERVES a title shot. We don't see Lesnar until the December 29th Raw, which I'm pretty sure is the Slammys, where it should be obvious that ending the streak is automatically winning Shocking Moment of the Year. Heyman and Lesnar then sit at commentary with Heyman talking and Lesnar just sitting there for the entire Royal Rumble match. The final 5 are Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns, Cena and Daniel Bryan. Ambrose takes out both himself and Rollins, Cena takes out Reigns and Bryan takes out Cena at the same time. Daniel Bryan wins the Rumble. Heyman comes out the night after and says he will not face Lesnar at WM and pokes fun at his injury and says Lesnar would kill him. Bryan then says that until Lesnar responds, he will make Heyman suffer. Bryan attacks him on that Raw, Main Event, and then SmackDown, then next Raw, Bryan starts another attack, Brock comes out to stop it and accept the challenge.

Well, no surprise here. Everyone and their mamas knew it was gonna be Brock vs Cena in a rematch.

The interesting question is - do they have Cena regain the championship or does he simply put up much more of a hard-fought fight before ultimately losing again? I'm praying for the latter and if it ends up being the former, hopefully it's because they incorporate the rumored Steel Cage idea into it and have Cena regain the title by escaping the cage instead of pinning Brock.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised at the rematch. It was just nice that they made it official. I hope that CEna fights harder and puts up more of a battle but ultimately succumbs to another F5 loss.....him winning in a cage by escape would seem too desperate I think....I'd rather have him go down fighting.

This is a good idea and I like the direction....however, having your champion gone until December 29th seems a little too much.

Given that they went through the trouble of 'making Lesnar his own belt', I'd say you're right.
The Rock lost his new WWE championship soon thereafter but he'd been owed his own signature belt for years.
He may lay down for Rollins, but its a dark day when Lesnar is given that much weight in booking.

I could see Reigns coming down to the ring, similar to the way Ultimate Warrior did at WM 8.
Reigns will see Cena in trouble, run down but Cena would have none of it. Reigns won't interfere but he could distract Cena enough.
This scenario works best if the Authority is already ringside to watch Cena get beat, prompting Reigns support of Cena.
This dynamic stirs a competitive rivalry between Lesnar/Reigns as well as some animosity between the aging vet (Cena) and the upstart (Reigns)

I can see this happening and think it's a pretty good idea. But not the part where Reigns ends up accidentally distracting Cena. I'd book Reigns to actually make the save after the match. I know the Cena character has so much pride that he would hate the thought of having to rely on someone else to help fight his battles for him, but it would make for an interesting dynamic since Cena has run down to someone many other people's help during crucial times.

Cena loses again after putting up a hell of a fight and Lesnar then tries to inflict further damage after the match is over (perhaps Heyman promises Cena during the buildup that Lesnar will finish off his career off for good if Cena dares to show up at NOC, and this is Brock trying to make good on that promise), at which point Reigns comes down and makes the save. Reigns and Cena developed sort of a mutual respect for one another during the build towards Battleground and they can further capitalize on that by having Reigns come to his aid against Brock, and it also teases/plants the seeds for a Reigns/Lesnar feud later on down the road.

The love for Brock Lesnar is beyond gay.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Bork Lazer will pew pew pew all over Cena's chance at a 16th world title.

I'm not really sure about Lesnar winning again. I mean he already decimated him at SummerSlam and we already know Cena doesn't take 2 big clean wins over him in a row. This one is a little iffy IMO.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Cena wins, lol. It's fine by me as long as Seth's coming in afterwards and cashing in!

Lesnar should win, just not sure how.
Given that Lesnar is head and shoulders better than Cena (kayfabe) maybe he will just lie down for Rollins.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

My bad, he's cool. He really is.
When 9/10 people tell me they are glad John Cena got his stem bent, it rubs me the wrong way.
I could accept it, if it the man delivering the pun wasn't the man who delivered the pun.
If I got one reason why Cena deserved it, I'd be cool. So far, he's stale. It's as if it's John Cena's f***Ing fault, he's stale.

Cena is a puppet and I get that, but that's how that dude rolls and he makes a pocket full off of it.
Believe it or not, Daniel Bryan isn't that different from Cena. It's funny he doesn't get near the hate, does he?

It is a scripted show. Do you get mad when people celebrate the death of a character on a TV show?

Cena losing is refreshing because we never see it.

You know, I must be the only one around here that dislikes the idea of a "rematch clause" A champion loses his/her title and then the person decides that they are entitled to a rematch because they have it in their contract. No. When you lose a title, you should have to start at the bottom of the main event scene, midcard, tag team, whatever, and work your way back up to the title picture and hope you're next in line after paying your dues all over again. When Bruno lost his title, he never got a rematch for the title immediately after losing the title. It wasn't until almost three years later that he got a shot and won the title again. Same with The Undertaker, who it took almost six years to get another shot and win. Angle also never got rematch clauses. The wrestlers I have the most respect for are the ones who work their way back up to a title match after an unsuccessful title defense. Basically what I'm trying to say here is that rematch clauses are slowly killing the prestige of each title.
