10 Predictions For John Cena Returning To WWE
6. Pushing On To A Summer Feud With Roman Reigns
The feud with Jericho is designed as a warm up, whilst WWE's long-term objective with Cena will be a major summer feud with Roman Reigns.
It is an inevitable, just like when Hulk Hogan clashed with Ultimate Warrior. A baton needs to be passed: the next franchise star needs to defeat the established franchise star.
Timing wise, it makes sense for SummerSlam. Maybe they'll have Cena winning Money In The Bank and going on from there, or maybe he'll simply qualify as number one contender after overcoming the Jericho feud.
The narrative writes itself. Cena is stuck on fifteen titles and is desperate to tie Ric Flair's record sixteen, whilst at the same time proving to Reigns he is still the man.
Reigns' response will be simple: "I'm THE guy."
