10 Reasons Why John Cena Will Be WWE's 2015 MVP

9. He's Taken The Company's Focus Away From Himself

John Cena sat at ringside on Monday night and spent 20 minutes extolling the virtues of Rusev, Kevin Owens and Cesaro. As well, he rarely ever mentioned his own storied career. Cena knows his own worth, plus he knows that muting his own worth at the expense of making his opponents worth more is a necessary skill to master. Foremost, it makes sense in that Cena has created three new opponents of interest, and as well created competitive matchups in which there's a question as to who wins? The ability to present wrestling as a competitive sport in a non-kayfabe environment is difficult. We know how the business works with slotting of performers along the card now, so a main eventer wrestling a midcarder almost always feels like a match with a foregone conclusion. However, Cena's somehow pulled the curtain back over the midcard and SHAZAM...things are intriguing again.
