5 Candidates For John Cena's Next WWE Feud

4. Triple H Or Randy Orton

Seth Rollins€™ turn on his Shield teammates the night after Payback saw his attacks centred mostly on Dean Ambrose, giving perhaps the clearest sign that he is set for a singles feud with the former U.S. Champion as his next outing. Following that assault, it was Randy Orton whose attention focused on Roman Reigns as the two remaining Shield members were laid out in the ring. Roman Reigns vs Triple H has been the match rumoured for Summerslam for some time now, but that does not dispel a possible Reigns/Orton programme in the interim. Reigns could well have to go through €˜The Viper€™ in order to lock horns with the €˜King of Kings€™. Such a scenario would surely free up either Orton or Evolution leader Triple H for a feud with Cena during the summer. The prospect of another instalment of Orton vs Cena may not sit well with the WWE audience, but such booking may well be what is needed in order to nudge Orton back into the main event frame after the obscurity he has endured since Wrestlemania XXX. Orton was one of television€™s most fascinating characters back in his role as the leader of Legacy in 2009 and 2010, but has not managed to hit the same heights since after a succession of face and heel turns. Fans would be glad to see the Orton character regain consistency and prominence if he is able to gather the same momentum he has achieved in the past. Triple H may be the more popular option to feud with Cena having had credible matches with him in the past, and the feud itself not having been overused. There is also some logic to the possible booking of the feud, with Triple H having already targeted his hostilities towards Daniel Bryan and The Shield and perhaps next looking to undermine WWE€™s most powerful babyface superstar.
