10 Reasons WWE Champion John Cena Must Lose To Brock Lesnar At SummerSlam
8. Cena Losing Doesn't Really Hurt Him
John Cena is WWE's Captain America, or Superman, if your comic book preference leans more towards DC than it does Marvel. Everyone knows that, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Whether you love him or you hate him, Cena isn't going anywhere. When Cena loses matches, not only does he not really get hurt much by it, but he often bounces back annoyingly happy, cracking jokes the next night or barely selling some horrific beating that he took at a pay-per-view. It happens when he loses to anyone, whether a title was on the line or not. You have to think that isn't going to change here, or at any point in the near future if it has gone on for this long. That's precisely the point... he bounces back, and it's almost as if losses "don't count" with him. If he loses to Brock at SummerSlam, sure, he'll be disappointed that he isn't the WWE World Champion anymore, but on Raw, he'll inevitably cut a promo where he makes fun of Brock's intelligence, Paul Heyman's weight, or he'll have some thinly-veiled innuendo about how being a "Paul Heyman Guy" makes you lovers or something like that. It would be a different booking direction for WWE, who continue to book Cena to win, even though his opponents almost always need the wins more than he does, but Brock Lesnar isn't your normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill opponent. He should be treated differently than everyone else.
