WWE Royal Rumble 2015: 10 Biggest Rumours

4. John Cena Regains The WWE World Heavyweight Championship

On Sunday, March 8, WWE will present a live event in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

"Why is that important? What could that possibly have to do with the Royal Rumble this Sunday night," you may ask.

According to the advertising that was released ahead of tickets going on sale, fans will have the opportunity to see "WWE World Heavyweight champion John Cena." Those up to date on the WWE product will realize that Cena is not, in fact the champion. The advertising immediately sent shock waves across the Internet as fans assumed it meant that Cena would leave Philadelphia with the gold around his waist.

Fantasy bookers began looking at what a Cena win would mean to WrestleMania 31 plans. Critics of WWE's franchise player complained and moaned about a potential 16th heavyweight title reign. WWE, recognizing the error and potential spoiler, set out to write the wrong.

WrestlingInc.com reported:

We noted earlier that John Cena was being advertised as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion for the March 8th WWE live event in Allentown, PA, which could be a spoiler for his match with Seth Rollins and current champion Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.

Shortly after the news was posted this morning, The PPL Center's official website removed the line that referred to Cena as the champion. This would have came from WWE's official press release for the event. The website now just refers to Cena as "one of the most decorated Superstars in WWE history."

A Cena championship win would be harshly criticized but, at the same time, would create a huge main event opportunity for whomever emerges from the Royal Rumble match as the No. 1 contender. As much as a win over Lesnar would mean, Cena is still the standard bearer and, in the case of a Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose, it would mean more to knock off the top star in the industry as much, if not more, than a special attraction the likes of the Beast Incarnate.
