Others have brought up the idea of a potential Cena heel turn. And many think it's going absolutely nowhere. Regardless of exactly where it's headed, though, most Internet fans want to see Cena get chokeslammed to hell and lose this feud.
While I'm certainly not the biggest Cena fan out there, I actually still want to see him get the better of Kane.
As you might imagine, that's made me want to see this feud end in the near future, and the only way I really see that happening is if Cena wins it. Think about it: If Kane just beats the crap out of Cena every week and beats him in their matches, do you honestly think that's how the feud is going to end?
The only way Kane is going to stop targeting Cena is if he finally gets Cena to embrace the hate or if Cena rises above hate, and I think we all know what the likelier of those two scenarios is. Thus, let's just get the inevitable Cena win out the way and have Kane move on to something else, and by something else, I mean something better. Zack Ryder has been a huge part of this feud so far, as big a part as John Cena himself, actually.
Though Ryder's tire-changing segment on last week's episode of Raw totally bombed anyone surprised by that? Vince McMahon is largely set in his ways. That is, he's not going to change something that's working just because a very vocal minority of fans don't think it actually is working. In other words, McMahon is probably not going to give Cena a new gimmick or turn him heel just because the older fans boo him every time he enters the arena.
That being said, McMahon has to come to his senses at some point and realize that Cena's campy character just isn't working anymore, and I think this feud with Kane could help him do that. If Cena beats Kane let's say in a match at Royal Rumble , he is going to get bombarded with boos and become even more hated by the older fans.
We may think that Cena gets a "mixed reaction" now, but fans are really going to hate him if he goes all "Super Cena" on Kane. Cena overcomes all odds again, the fans absolutely despise him for it and then McMahon finally realizes that we're tired of the same old crap.
If we're just being honest here, neither John Cena nor Kane really needs to be winning feuds at this point in their careers. Though Cena has spent the last six years or so at the top of the WWE, he's only 34 years old and likely has another five years or so at the top.
Scary, I know. Meanwhile, Kane is already 44 years old and likely doesn't have more than a year or two left in his storied career. I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place right now, but I'd say it's better for the WWE, long term, to let Cena win this feud since he's still got a big portion of his career ahead of him.
If these guys were friends, they sure were bad at showing it. So Kane would set things right by getting Cena to embrace his inner hate. Pretty heady stuff for a preternatural freak.
On the January 2 Raw , Kane tore through the floor of the ring and tried to drag Ryder into his hole — which the wrestlers and the announcers all sold like the literal entrance to hell — but Cena saved Ryder. Kane severely injured Ryder on three separate occasions: by choke-slamming him onto a pile of pallets in the loading dock, by choke-slamming him through the entrance-ramp stage, and by pushing his wheelchair at full speed off the entrance-ramp platform — usually with Eve screaming bloody murder in the background.
Ryder responded to his various maimings not with particular grit or despair, but instead with slapstick insouciance. He would show up after each attack, wheelchair-bound, wearing increasingly formidable-looking neck and back braces, determined to thank Cena for trying to save him and to keep pursuing Eve.
Maybe her inauthenticity is the point. Not just the literal reality of what we were watching, because of course that was fake, but the reality within the context of wrestling.
After Cena saved Eve, she kissed him, and then the camera panned to a forlorn Zack Ryder, sitting nearby in his wheelchair and neck brace with a bouquet of roses in his lap. It was the funniest image on WWE television in recent memory, and yet its humor felt poignant. The line would have worked too well in a scene that otherwise felt like an oddly premeditated disaster.
It would have sponged all the absurdity out of the air. In the absence of the catchphrase, the sublime preposterousness of the whole affair was brought into sharp focus. Or its insanity? Two weeks ago, I looked at these scenes and groaned as if I were being forced to watch community theater.
