8 Predictions For WWE Money In The Bank After Elimination Chamber

8. Cena Takes The Rematch

Everything for which the diehard WWE fans hate John Cena, that he never loses cleans, that he crushes debuting superstars momentum, that he cannot bring himself to shrink from the spotlight, all of them were proven dead wrong at Elimination Chamber. In a shocking finish to a high-impact match, Cena put over Kevin Owens in his first WWE PPV match, clean. He even scurried straight to the back to give Owens the opportunity to cut a scathing promo. No "well done" handshake, no "check this guy out" raise of the arm that happens after every open challenge, Cena truly did the honours for Kevin Owens last night, giving him one of the best debuts in recent WWE history. Later that same night, the rematch was announced for Money In The Bank. Of course, Cena can't lose twice ... can he? While there is a precedent for old hands putting over young NXT warriors for two consecutive PPVs (HHH and Evolution did exactly that for The Shield at Extreme Rules/Payback 2014), for the WWE to have Cena lose twice would be a bad move. First of all, Cena still has years of full-time service left in him. While he should absolutely be used, sporadically, to put over up-and-coming talent, his ability to do that effectively decreases if he starts to lose too much. There's a reason why last night was so special: because it's rare. Second, Cena is still holding the US title and the WWE have been doing far too much work in restoring that title to have Owens continue to trample over it. Expect Cena to win, setting up either a rubber match for Battleground, or a begrudging display of respect between the two champions.
