While Cena might not be in the main event picture right now, his current run as U.S. Champion is only a temporary spell that’s being done to elevate the WWE’s mid-card. After all, several of Cena’s title defense matches over the last few months have been great, with some being match of the night.

One cannot deny the fact that John Cena is a major draw for WWE, and Vince and company want him to become one of WWE’s biggest legends. Considering how much he has already accomplished in the company, the only thing left for him to do is beat arguably the most important record still in place: Ric Flair’s championship success.

Flair is often praised as the best wrestler ever, and his multiple World Championship reigns are testament to that. However, most of those reigns occurred outside of WWE, and so Vince wants the face of his company to do it with only WWE belts. Doing so would catapult Cena even further into legendary status in WWE history, and would certainly lead to the announcers calling him a ‘true legend’.

Because of this don’t be surprised if Cena carries the World title at least two more times by 2020. He’s getting older, and WWE clearly wants him to surpass Flair’s record before his body shuts down.
