6. Rusev Actually Has A Chance Of Beating Cena
Rusev has yet to be pinned or made to submit on WWE programming. He has been on a destructive role for almost a year, and has defeated former World Champions and has been virtually unstoppable, especially since he won the U.S. Championship. At Fast Lane, Rusev defeated WWEs golden boy John Cena, albeit controversially, thus establishing himself as a serious threat to the WWE. Recently, WWE have adopted a narrative where Cenas reign at the top and his dominion over WWE has been brought into question ever since Rusev made Cena pass out to his Accolade submission hold. This coupled with how Rusev has been booked as a virtual equal to Cena has led to the possibility that Rusev might actually win at WrestleMania. If this happens, his star power is certain to rise to even greater heights. While some people arent so sure about Rusevs possible victory over Cena, especially since Rusev has been dodging Cenas challenge, the way that this rivalry has been presented has led to an interesting match-up where John Cena does not have a guaranteed chance of winning. Its this kind of narrative, where both combatants are presented as virtual equals that makes for a compelling match.
