9 Reasons Bray Wyatt Was The Right Choice To Be WWE Champion

4. It Keeps John Cena Out Of The Title Picture For WrestleMania

Another added bonus of Bray Wyatt walking out of the Elimination Chamber with the WWE world championship is that it removes John Cena from the title picture for WrestleMania. Rumors are that he and his significant other Nikki Bella will be taking on Maryse and her husband The Miz in a mixed tag WrestleMania XXVII rematch, and his loss on Sunday night is further evidence to support that.

While “Big Match John” is an essential member of the WWE roster and should always occupy a prime spot on any card that he appears on, in no way should he be in one of the main events at WrestleMania at this stage of his career. He seems to be graduating into a part-time role and featuring him isn’t helping to establish the current guys as the big time stars they must become if the company is to flourish.

Wyatt will most certainly be facing Randy Orton at WrestleMania, and that match should be of a higher profile than the Cena & Nikki/Miz & Maryse bout, keeping the company’s top star on the card but letting those who are younger and going to be counted on to carry the company once he’s gone for good take the reins.
