WWE Elimination Chamber 2017: 3 Reasons John Cena Should Win
John Cena, WWE.com
John Cena will go into Elimination Chamber as WWE Champion, and he should come out the same way.
John Cena is getting set to enter the Elimination Chamber this Sunday, where he will put his WWE Championship on the line against five top Superstars.
AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, The Miz, and Baron Corbin will all be battling it out with Cena inside the Chamber. Each man is worthy of carrying the title.
Styles and Ambrose have proven themselves in the past year as main eventers. Each man carried the WWE Championship in 2016 and did their part to carry the Blue Brand.
Wyatt and Miz have earned a shot at moving up the card. With both guys strengthening the SmackDown midcard and having quality feuds that made the recent brand-specific feuds must-see.
Corbin is an up-and-comer who could be shot to the top of SmackDown at any moment. He’s got WWE written all over him and he’ll likely be champion at some point during 2017.
All five guys are talented. All five guys have made the most of what they’ve been given since the WWE Draft. All five guys have plenty of positives that make them attractive options to hold the WWE Championship. There’s just one problem.
None of them are John Cena.
None of them have won 16 world championships. None of them have main evented multiple WrestleManias. Only Miz has even main evented one.
If there was a time to take the title off Cena without having to hurt him, it would be Sunday, when he could be overpowered by multiple challengers at once. That’s not a good enough reason to do it though, and it’s just not the right time.
There are many reasons to keep the title around Cena’s waist, but there are three that must make WWE realize that Cena is their man moving forward.
