Cena Vs. Ziggler Back On

This just makes the crazy changes in the weeks prior to Survivor Series even more dumb. Prior to a triple threat being made for the WWE Championship, you had Cena and AJ Lee feuding against Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero. Cena gets added back into the matters between Ryback and CM Punk. Ziggler randomly becomes captain of the team CM Punk was supposed to lead at the PPV. Cena loses and Ziggler wins. Now what? Cena and Ziggler are back feuding again. In terms storylines, it makes everything seem pointless. It didn't really lead to any big payoff. Even in terms of trying to draw in buyers for the PPV who might want to see whether or not CM Punk could hold the title for a year, there were other ways to set up a title match without the sloppy changes to Cena/Ziggler. Cena did not need to be there at all.

This really is a big feud for Dolph Ziggler. I like developing someone prior to just tossing them into the main-event scene, but I'm still wondering if they are trying too hard. Ziggler will definitely connect well with the fans, but what will he have left after he does cash in? That's the problem I keep bringing up. Do they see this guy as a possible successor for John Cena? That would explain wanting to push him this hard. Or will he end up like Miz? Miz was developed well in the midcard and moved up prior to winning the WWE Championship. He then put over John Cena and went back down to the midcard. It all comes down to how the WWE now views John Cena and their overall product. Things are not working too well.

And what about Cena? Will this be another one of those pay-per-views where Cena is in a non-title main event that trumps title feuds for either World Championship? I don't think this feud between Cena and Ziggler is important enough. Even if they were to put Vickie's job on the line or Ziggler's Money in the Bank briefcase, the WWE Championship should still take precedence. Then again, you could probably have said the same thing for this year's Money in the Bank PPV. Cena was in the main event, not WWE Champion CM Punk. That one was ridiculous. Not as bad as Cena vs. Kane at Elimination Chamber trumping the World title matches, but still up there. How the WWE handles this feud will really say a lot about how they view Cena now. Are they still banking everything on him? Will they spread the attention better?
