3 Reasons why John Cena should retain the Undisputed WWE Title at WWE Backlash
Image-WWE.com
John Cena
won his record 17th WWE World Championship at WrestleMania 41 against
Cody Rhodes
. Now, the Hollywood superstar and WWE legend is set to defend his
Undisputed WWE Title
against his favorite rival and arch nemesis, the 'Viper'
Randy Orton
at
WWE Backlash
. It will be the first PLE after WrestleMania, which is set to take place at St. Louis, Missouri. While the world is astonished to see the vile and villainous side of John, it would be better in the long-term, if the 'Fast & Furious 9' star manages to defend the World Championship at the Enterprise Centre at St. Louis. It may not be a hugely popular result, but would serve the WWE right going ahead.
Here are three reasons why John should retain his WWE Title at Backlash
1. Randy Orton is not the same as a decade ago
— DKSportsbook (@DKSportsbook)
Randy and John have enjoyed a world famous rivalry back in the day, starting in the mid 2000's till the late 2010's. It was the perfect 'good guy vs the bad guy' storyline for the WWE, which served the audience multiple humdinger's and mouth watering contests over two decades. Now while Cena has turned 'Heel'(much to everyone's surprise) Randy Orton has become the 'good guy' who is also the best friend of Cody Rhodes, who Cena defeated at WrestleMania deceitfully. But Orton is not the same 'Viper' as he was a decade ago, and age and injuries have indeed caught up with him marginally if not fully. Giving him the Undisputed WWE Title after Cena having done the unthinkable at WrestleMania, would not be befitting for the WWE Universe. Also, Cena having the Title for less than a month would make it an incomplete storyline.

2. Only Cody Rhodes should take the title away from Cena
The 'American Nightmare' Cody was defeated in one of the shocks of the decade by John in the main event of WrestleMania 41. Now, if Cena loses the Title to Randy, it would not only be an incomplete storyline, it would also belittle the humongous upset that was delivered at the grandest stage of WWE. If anyone, it has to be the American Nightmare who dethrones Cena from the Undisputed WWE Title to make it worth Cena's last year in WWE.
3. The fans are actually on Cena's side
Crowd chants Thank you Cena at John Cena after WWE Wrestlemania 41 goes off air
Although Cena defeated Cody at WrestleMania deceitfully, with the help of the WWE Title, the fans were actually happy with the 'Champ' winning the Championship. The fans were heard saying 'Thank you Cena' at the end of that match and even when Cena showed up on RAW after WrestleMania, the audience present there were heard cheering him. That's why it would be apt to keep this engagement towards Cena going and not take the coveted WWE Championship from him.

'You are not going to get rid of chokers tag': Mark Boucher, claims Temba Bavuma's South Africa can transform Test cricket with WTC Final victory
South Africa (AP/PTI) Former South Africa cricket head coach Mark Boucher believes a victory for the Temba Bavuma-led South African team in the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's on June 11 could revitalize Test cricket in South Africa. The team secured their first-ever WTC final appearance after winning seven consecutive Tests and topping the 2023-25 cycle points table with a 69.44 percentage. South Africa is currently preparing for the crucial one-off Test with a warm-up match against Zimbabwe at Arundel. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "A lot of people have criticised South Africa, which is not really fair. You play what's in front of you, and with all due respect, the sides that we've played against, we probably should have beaten, and we've done that. So we find ourselves in a final," Boucher said. "But I wouldn't say that it has got the crowds going in our country. Everyone's very excited about it now, as the opportunity arises, a lot of people are going to travel over to London, spend all their Rands, and go watch what should be a good match. If we win it, I think that could be the turnaround for Test cricket in our country," he added. Arshdeep Singh: The Poet Who Bowls Thunder | Stories from His Father & Coach The Lord's clash marks the second ICC title match appearance for the men's team following their runner-up finish in the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The women's team has also finished as runners-up in consecutive T20 World Cups. "We're playing for a trophy, so I guess a lot of people are saying no [we can't win], but I think it's a different feel in Test match cricket. It's played over a longer period of time, and you've just got to win big moments in the game as well. Yes, there will be that tag [chokers] that gets thrown our way until we win a trophy," Boucher stated. "You're not going to get rid of the tag. Is it deserving of these youngsters coming through? No, it's almost like they're carrying the burden of what happened in previous years, which is always going to be tough on them, but they're the ones in control of their futures at the moment," he continued. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Boucher expressed confidence in opener Ryan Rickelton and batsman Tristan Stubbs for the upcoming final. "Ryan Rickelton has been playing nicely for Mumbai Indians (MI), and he was actually on the tour that we went to England (in 2022) as well. He's actually played quite a few games in England as well, so he'll know the conditions," he remarked. "And Tristan Stubbs has come back and played a lot of domestic cricket and basically forced his way into the Test side because of the runs that he's got. On paper, Australia will probably feel that they've got a better batting line-up than what we have, but have we got the attitude to go out there and, in a one-off game, just leave it all out there? Absolutely," Boucher concluded.
