Cena Or Nexus?

The next big thing for John Cena and his feud with Nexus is the match with Wade Barrett coming up at Hell in a Cell. If John Cena wins, Nexus is done. If Wade Barrett wins, Cena must join the group.

Do I want to see the Nexus angle end? I do not really care now. What made the angle so appealing months ago was the intrigue. Why were these guys doing this? Who was behind it? Who would be next? How far would they go? Pretty much all the answers have been lame. The group is pretty much doing it to make a statement and try to dominate on Raw. Is that supposed to be original? There is no mastermind behind, just Barrett himself. Their targets and attacks have become mediocre or expected. And how pathetic is it now that there are only five of them? The intrigue is gone and the whole thing recently has been just a cheap way to build Barrett up as a main-eventer. I will not even bring up how I feel about them saying the guy can have a PPV title shot, then have it wasted in a match with four other guys challenging Sheamus. These men can better be served by singles pushes or being sent back to FCW. I think Justin Gabriel has proved he can hold his own. Will Barrett fail without his backing? Probably, but they would have had to go there sooner or later. Worst case, just make him a comedy act like Sheamus.

Do I want to see Cena destroy another evil force in the WWE to look like a hero? He already went over Nexus at Summerslam. Why must it really rest on his shoulders to finish off the diluted group? Seven Raw men stood against Nexus back then. It would be even more if you count all the jobbers and other wrestlers who were eager to get rid of them. All these other men are now in hiding, leaving Cena to stand alone against what is now an overrated threat?

What do I want to see then? Have Cena lose. Not cleanly. No, why do that to Cena? Just have him join Nexus. Triple H will have to come back sooner or later. The face main-eventers would include him, Cena, and Orton. That is even assuming that no other faces get a fair build up to the main event. Jericho will be out for a while. Edge can enjoy his new home in the midcard. Sheamus should have probably stayed in the midcard if he had not gotten that push last year. If you really want to give Barrett credibility, and the stable as a whole, have them really conquer Cena. That will get people intrigued again. Will a heel turn follow for Cena? It need not. People may still tune in to see what would happen. While Cena is further involved in Nexus, Orton gets a fair run with the title, Triple H may return to feud with Sheamus, and someone like John Morrison may arrive and stay for a while.

Things have gotten stale again. Both John Cena and Nexus can use refreshing. I do not think you solve the problem by pushing Cena in the same stale direction. Although destroying Nexus and giving them singles runs is an option, that does not have to be the only answer to the problem either. Pushing Cena in a new direction in this whole feud with Nexus may be beneficial to both sides, as well as the WWE product.
