John Cena To Face Brock Lesnar For Fourth Time In Under Three Years

In less than three years, seven of Lesnar's WWE matches have been either Cena or HHH.

John Cena was victorious over Randy Orton at Hell In A Cell, cleanly winning the cell encounter in twenty six minutes with an AA through a table. As the match was a number one contender battle, it now means Cena has won the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. Instantly, this has turned into a big talking point for fans - in the less than three years Brock has been back with WWE, he will have faced Cena on four occasions. In the bigger picture, Brock has also faced Triple H on three occasions since returning. That means seven overall Brock matches against either Cena or Triple H. Fans are rightly asking, is this really the best use of a talent on a minimum dates $5 million a year contract? It looks more like WWE have simply used Brock's drawing power to give their golden boys a rub. However, fans should also consider the fact that Cena Vs Brock is WWE's biggest mainstream commercial match. It does feel overdone at this point, but a fourth clash is still as big than anything else WWE could have presented. A casual audience will buy into it because Cena and Lesnar are recognisable names. The next Cena vs Brock match is expected to take place at January's Royal Rumble. It will be established when Brock returns at the December 8th Raw, which will also be the slammys presentation. This match will be the fifth overall time that Cena and Brock have clashed on pay per view, as they also fought way back at Backlash 2003.
