8 Reasons Seth Rollins' Reign As WWE Champion Needs To End

3. Cena Can Equal Flair's Record

An inevitably divisive point, but one which seems increasingly likely of occurring (should Cena accept Rollins' challenge for a match at SummerSlam). Let's face it: the WWE are definitely going to have Cena equal Ric Flair's record of 16 world championships. He's the most successful, enduringly popular star of a generation, and will likely be remembered as one of the few superstars to even partially break into the mainstream - a select group including Hogan and The Rock. This is sure to happen sooner or later, with Cena precariously positioned at 15 reigns so far, and SummerSlam is the perfect time to do this. Rather than have John win closer to WrestleMania, potentially shoving newer, fresher superstars down the card (as he did at 'Mania 29), it would make sense instead for him to defeat Rollins in two weeks time. The next step is a mystery, but having Cena win the belt so early leaves enough time for him to either pass it on before 'Mania weekend, or at least for a new challenger to be established.
