8 Reasons Why John Cena Is The Problem With WWE

6. He Can€™t Lose Clean To A Lesser Star €“ And Everyone€™s A Lesser Star

Everyone knows that John Cena follows the Hogan model when it comes to losing. Not just in the sense that he€™s got the stroke with the office to have final say on who he puts over and how, but in the sense that it€™s accepted €“ without really needing to be discussed €“ that he won€™t lose cleanly to anyone that€™s on a lower level to him. There€™s nothing really wrong with that, as a piece of booking received wisdom. In an ideal world, as perennial top dog in WWE, Cena and the office would be looking at his upcoming feuds as opportunities to make new stars as well as to give him something to do on television and pay-per-view. That means that when he does lose cleanly, it means something major. All pretty standard Booking 101 when it comes to a babyface of John Cena€™s stature. The problem arises when you consider exactly how long this has been the case - ten years or more. Even Hogan took breaks from the company from time to time. Cena comes back from injuries like he€™s a human boomerang. It€™s a long time for one man to maintain a chokehold on the top wrestling promotion in the business. Both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan have benefited significantly as babyface stars from getting Cena€™s nod in recent times €“ and now WWE is forced to write around both, as Punk elects to take early retirement and Bryan is sidelined with neck issues. Who else is there for Cena to put over? People thought that heel wunderkind Bray Wyatt might get the rub, but that hasn€™t proven to be the case, Cena convincingly tearing the Wyatt Family apart on several pay-per-views this year. Reigns and Cesaro aren€™t ready for the main event. Everyone€™s a lesser star to Cena now, and the outcome of any feuds with lesser stars is a foregone conclusion. Like Wyatt, Cena€™s just going to run right over them.
