Dance Or Die

I'm not allowed to ever mention my favorite singer, am I?

Vince McMahon returned on Raw, made fun of Jim Ross, danced a little, put John Laurinaitis in a "Do or Die" situation, and got killed off again. On Smackdown, it will be revealed that John Cena might end up being fired, if he does not defeat Big Show in that cage match. In other words, someone is going to lose their job.

Did the match really need that added stipulation? Just go back to how the match looked before this week. John Cena vs. Big Show in a cage was going to be the main event of a PPV, trumping World title matches. These two have faced each other before in PPV matches that did not involve a title. It wasn't the main event then, so what makes this feud worthy of it now? Enter Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis. Putting the GM job on the line definitely makes it worthy of the top match on the card. But making it seem like Cena now has something to overcome? He has beaten Big Show lots of times. I have to admit, they at least made things more interesting to try to draw in buys.

Who will win? Obviously, no matter what happens, it can all be undone very easily. Cena has been "fired" before. Remember when Cena was drafted to Smackdown? That didn't last long. But how should the WWE handle this situation? Laurinaitis losing his job will lead people to wondering who will be in charge next. How will that person run things? Will Laurinaitis try to fight back? If Cena loses, that will cause even bigger controversy. Of course, they didn't exactly follow up with that kind of direction the last time they did it very well. Unless the WWE plans to bring in a controversial replacement for Laurinaitis or make their summer angle revolve around Laurinaitis trying to revolt in some way, John Cena should be the one losing. That would be the only real outcome that will get people wondering whether the status quo will really change or not.
