The 16-time WWE World champion, John Cena has achieved it all in the company. He has won the United States title, the tag team titles, the Money in the Bank contract, and even the Royal Rumble match. 'The Face That Runs The Place' has featured in multiple WrestleMania main events. Still, the creative team has not booked him to win the Intercontinental Championship.

Although he may never break Ric Flair's record of the most world title reigns, there is a chance that the writers allow him to become a Grand Champion by inserting him in the Intercontinental title picture. The best time to make that happen is now because 'The Hustle Loyalty & Respect Soldier' would have some dates free. He can come back and defeat Sami Zayn to win the mid-card title on SmackDown.

Then, 'The Champ' can defend the title in Open Challenge matches, with his regime culminating on a random episode. This way, Vince McMahon can create a new star and also make Cena a Grand Slam Champion without facing much backlash from the fans.
