Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
With Hell In A Cell a few days away and Cena going on an "extended break" for 2 months by the sounds of things to do a TV show.
Who would you like to see take the US Open Challenge at HIAC and assumingly take it from Cena.
Thoughts?
It will probably end up being someone stupid like The Miz tbh. Personally would like to see Cesaro/Sandow have a go at it.

- SD Spoiler:
- Most expected it to be Tyler Breeze, Would seem very silly to give him now why not wait a few more days?

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
I can see Breeze or Ziggler winning it, then a Breeze/Ziggler feud over it.
Cesaro would be cool.
I reckon Sheamus, if doesn't have to cash in MITB until next summer then it gives him something to do. Also linked to Sheamus potentially feuding with Cena in December/January.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
Bryan would be good for the pop but somehow sad.
Breeze i'd love to have taken it on debut but now it seems a bit wasted. Saying that, he deserves it and Summer Rae deserves to be aligned with a title holder too. I think their work could be excellent and the matches would be great.
Otherwise its Cesaro or Ambrose for me. Two over faces who might carry on the interest in the belt.

I think its going to be Bryan, and thats why we havent heard anything about his independent doctors evaluation, because they're keeping it a secret.
I thought for sure it would be Breeze but only if they were saving his Debut for the PPV.
I dont trust WWE to keep Ambrose or Cesaro as strong as Cena has been with the belt.

I will go left field and say James Storm.
He debuted and isnt at the next set of tapings but WWE have given him some big coverage. Are they likely to keep him hanging around at his age?

Xavier Woods to give the new day all the gold, or Tyler Breeze to legitimise him straight away. Can't see it being anyone else really

Theres left field and theres going so left field you've gone full circle and ended up in a field to the right.

I really hope it isn't Daniel Bryan, the WWE are starved of truly over faces, they need him desperately for that Main Event spot as the top face, no-one can compare, particularly with Cena taking time off, if Bryan is fit then for me he has to be interjected into the Main Event, actually give that Title some meaning again, I love Seth but they've done absolutely nothing with him as Champ other than going over a few big names

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
I think we are almost definitely going to be underwhelmed by the mystery opponent. Though in all honesty, despite the fact that I think he's improved an awful lot in the last year, I'd find Tyler Breeze underwhelming, and I just can't see Cena taking the 1-2-3 for him.
But it keeps this PPV interesting and I think as long as WWE don't underwhelm completely on the US title, or they get too carried away overwriting the cell matches this should be an enjoyable PPV.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
I think either James Storm, Samoa Joe or a surprise debutant in AJ Styles would be awesome, puts any over as a big thing straight away for those that dont know their history outside wwe
Plus Joe has a back story with Cena from before wwe im sure i read somewhere
Narrative for joe would be we go way back and i despise what you have become and im here to get the old John Cena back put him on shelf gives cena his time off and then on the return use videos putting over cena in training and becoming the old cena leading to a match at the rumble where cena comes up short and then takes it through to Mania

I must say I did find it strange that James Storm wasn't involved in the next 3 weeks NXT Tapings, that does leave the possibility that he might be used, I'd be surprised if he was the man they chose to use but I do think not being involved in NXT makes it a possibility, that being said that's the first time I saw Storm in a few years and maybe they just want him to shape up a but before they stick him back out there.

From http://www.pwtorch.com/index.php/2015/10/23/james-storm-talks-nxt-debut-future/
As for his future in WWE, Storm was non-committal about whether he will return to NXT.
“That’s the million-dollar question. That’s not really up to me. My job is to go out and get myself over, as they say. And it’s up to what we call ‘the suits’ to make the decision of whether to bring me back to NXT or the WWE main roster. I get so many people all the time saying, ‘We want to see you and Bray Wyatt go at it on the microphone.’ I always say that you never know what’s going to happen in wrestling. And I just take one day at a time,” Storm said.

He's dropped a bit of a tease that he might be on the UK tour in his latest tweets. Would make sense, he's over from his time with TNA and would be a good little pop for the tour.

I don't think Storm's physique will change dramatically. Besides, WWE seem to have no problem using larger guys at the moment. I mean look at the Wyatt Family, Rusev and Kevin Owens. I don't have a problem with Storm's look. Edge wasn't a "ripped" guy either. But, Storm isn't like Chris Hero either. I doubt very much though that Storm will go into a WWE PPV and win the US title from Cena in only his second WWE match. I too was surprised he isn't involved in the next three weeks of NXT tapings, but there is an interview with him on WWE.com, so I'm sure they'll use him again soon. Despite being a veteran, I still think it would be good for him to adjust to the WWE via NXT as well getting exposure for WWE Network subscribers before getting called up to the main roster.

He surely cant be going to the main roster ahead of Joe. Joe is clearly the better wrestler and has been on NXT longer; and further to that I bet his t-shirt sales are more interesting to WWE when it comes to moving up.
Just why havent they signed Aries?

If jinxes were true then it would need Vince to read this forum and decide to have Big Show win the US Title instead of Austin Aries.

Don't tell me you don't think a mighty Big Show win hasn't crossed his mind. Leading to a fresh and exciting feud with Mark Henry before a series of 19 matches with Sheamus.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
I think with Joe there seems to be a feud with Finn Balor brewing there so that for me would be a reason to rule him out, it wouldn't be a definite veto but it st least gives reasoning why he wouldn't be in the running.Dolphin Ziggler wrote:He surely cant be going to the main roster ahead of Joe.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
I don't think there is a need for his appearance to change "drastically" but he did look awful flabby, guys like Owens and Bray Wyatt are heavy set guys but they don't look flabby, they both look like they've got buldging guys but they are also covered up.talkingpoint wrote:Kay Fabe wrote:I must say I did find it strange that James Storm wasn't involved in the next 3 weeks NXT Tapings, that does leave the possibility that he might be used, I'd be surprised if he was the man they chose to use but I do think not being involved in NXT makes it a possibility, that being said that's the first time I saw Storm in a few years and maybe they just want him to shape up a but before they stick him back out there.

I don't think guys need to be ripped, I've always been a big fan of different body shapes, I feel it offers a better picture than the same standard body types that the WWE were churning out about 4/5/6 years ago but I also think that as a vetern, The WWE will look at Storm and if he is to be given a chance he'll need to be in the best shape possible, I don't believe he is in the best shape and while he can look good going over jobbers in short matches the WWE will want to know he can go 20-30 minutes, not because they'll have those plans for him but just incase they ever find themselves in a situation were he mivht need to.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
I do have to agree. He didnt move great, although I'm not sure thats ever going to be his strength again anyway, and he looked out of shape. Owens and such dont look out of shape, they just look like thats their shape. Storm looked unfit.
He did show charisma and looked like he was on it mentally, his eyes were sharp and his character focused.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
Why not Sami Zayn? He and Cena had a great match before (albeit with the injury issue) he has been kept off WWE television but has competed in EVOLVE recently, potentially to get ring sharp for a big appearance, and is seemingly done and dusted with NXT...
Definite face character who could work with a wide range of the roster as well as opening up the tantalising future potential for a big screen Zayn/Owens contest around combining the US/IC titles

Would be great if it was Zayn. He could potentially keep the US open challenge thing going too as hes definitely that type of face. The crowd would go mad for him if he came out for it, and when he won it.

Re: Who Should Take Cena's US Title from him?
Because he's rehabbing his shoulder until Jan. He only appeared at Evolve he didn't wrestle. But he'd be my number 1 pick if fit and if he is in shape to wrestle and appears, I'd mark out.JoshSansom wrote:Why not Sami Zayn?
I think it will be a(nother) chance for Ambrose to get a title run.

Sami Zayn would definitely be my number one choice. Trying to convince myself that he is still in rehab and its not just a work to swerve us.

You know what, I think WWE are spreading a lot of false rumour to drum up interest. And good! Thats how you do it.
News being spread that Bryan has confirmed he is to take part at HIAC tonight having been cleared. Samoa Joe is also another rumour going around. It really could be someone big, and I hope it is now cos if its Breeze his moment will be crud because people will have wanted the surprise.

I wanted it to be Breeze but I think it wont be him anymore, if they were going to put the title on him they would have saved it for his debut moment I reckon.
I like this, I like rampant speculation. Its got me interested in atleast this one match.

Terry Funk had his last ever match last night, so in true Funk fashion I think he should immediately wrestle again and be the man to take the challenge tonight.

Sheamus makes sense. Nobody wants him cashing in MITB this side of Mania (if at all), so a US Title run and feud with the returning Cena in December/January/February keeps him out of the main event. Then loses it, then cashes in for a April to July/August reign.

True, one too many times and no one cares about the surprise any more. TNA are the proof of this rule
