John Cena Vs. Bray Wyatt Inside A Steel Cage

It seems obvious the issues between Daniel Bryan and The Authority will last beyond Extreme Rules. Daniel Bryan has a rejuvenated Kane to deal with. Evolution is tied up with The Shield. Once Orton and Batista are done with that, they will most likely be getting their rematches for the title. Even Triple H might book himself to face Daniel Bryan for the title again. You have material there to last a while.

But this isn't about Daniel Bryan and The Authority. Today's topic is John Cena and Bray Wyatt. What does that feud have to do with title matters? It is only a matter of time before John Cena does reenter the title scene. However, as I just talked about, the title scene seems set for a while even without him. There is no need to force Cena into the storyline involving Daniel Bryan, The Shield, Evolution, and whomever else is already in there. What does that mean for John Cena? He will most likely be continuing his feud with Bray Wyatt beyond Extreme Rules.

Those two will be going at it inside a steel cage. Okay, that should make for a good match. Let's talk beyond the quality of the match. Let's talk the story of the match. There is a story to this feud. There was a story to the match these two had at Wrestlemania. Bray Wyatt wants to ruin Cena's legacy. It seems the plan is to do it by having Cena do evil things he would not usually do. In other words, be heelish. How can they tell that story inside a steel cage? How can they make it seem like Cena's legacy is on the line here. John Cena uses a weapon on Bray? One of Bray's henchmen can toss a weapon inside the cage, Cena manages to get it, and then the whole deal with Cena conflicted about whether or not to use it. Of course, that would be legal inside a cage. How about Cena has the match won and can leave the cage, but instead chooses to stay in and destroy Bray? Bray might still end up losing the match, but he would be gloating the next night that he brought the monster out of John Cena. Seeing as this feud is likely to last after Extreme Rules, and has the potential to, they will need to do something more than just hand Bray Wyatt a win to make him look strong.

Speaking of wins, John Cena won the match at Wrestlemania and even overcame Bray Wyatt psychologically. Was that a mistake? I am not implying a botched finish. Was it a mistake to handle things like that? I have seen fans say that Cena pretty much destroyed The Wyatts on Raw with his promo. Would he still have been in a position to do that if Bray had won, the match ended in some kind of DQ, or Bray won the psychological war? You could have Bray Wyatt slowly break down John Cena. A piece at Wrestlemania, a piece at Extreme Rules, and Cena eventually bounces back to overcome. Face it, Bray Wyatt will not end John Cena. Cena will overcome. But would it have been better for the story and possibly Bray's character if they hadn't put Cena in a position to treat The Wyatts as jokes? Bray will most likely still get a victory over Cena, but this formula of doing things might not have been best.
