4. John Cena
Believe it or not, the face of the franchise, John Cena, also known as Super Cena, is not at the top of this list. While Cena chasing his 17th world title reign heading into WrestleMania would be a great story, it’s not the story he or the WWE Universe need right now.
Brock Lesnar being champion is a great thing because it gives credibility to the Universal Championships due to his legit fighting background and track record in WWE, but it has more than run its course.
Raw is hurting by having a part time world champion now because the “face” of the brand is hardly ever there. So, to have two part timers, Cena and Lesnar, fight over the belt at WrestleMania could cause fans to turn on both of them (more than they already have), and it would spell disaster for the Raw brand after ‘Mania.
Also, we’ve already seen Cena vs. Lesnar a few times, and it’s time for a fresh feud for Cena. So, expect Cena to be doing some eliminating in the Elimination Chamber, but expect him to get pinned by someone he could start a WrestleMania feud with.
People like Elias, Finn, and Braun Strowman all have some unsettled business with Cena and could easily spark a WrestleMania feud with him in the Elimination Chamber. However, there’s plenty of different roads to WrestleMania Cena could take.
He could feud with some of those entrants, jump ship to SmackDown to feud with one of their top guys, OR there could be something special in store for The Face That Runs The Place: a match with The Undertaker. Could it happen? Maybe. But there are certainly other options out there for Cena, so expect someone else to come out victorious in this Elimination Chamber match.
