Choosing a WWE Title Match
The news heard round the world this past Tuesday was that John Cena's reign as WWE champion has officially ended. Not by way of any wrestler really, but by way of the injury bug which has plagued many other superstars (Edge, Bobby Lashley, Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels to name four). It's been a historic title run of over 1 year for Cena, but now the title will officially go around a new wrestler's waist this Sunday at No Mercy.
Mr. McMahon delivered the bad news to fans on Tuesday night's ECW show. Fans in attendance were either booing or cheering emphatically. It's always a bit deplorable when anyone cheers a serious injury requiring surgery, but that is besides the point here.
So how to decide who competes for the WWE title?
Here's 2 scenarios for what may happen at No Mercy:
1) Triple Threat - They add Randy Orton to the Umaga vs Triple H match, making it a Triple Threat for the title. The reason being those seem like the top 3 guys who most deserve a title shot on the Raw roster right now. There isn't much more beyond them with the exceptions of maybe Jeff Hardy, but he has the Intercontinental Title. Mr. Kennedy fought and lost to Cena Monday night. So Triple H has been climbing the ranks lately. Umaga is a favorite of Vince and Coach. Of course Vince and Coach have been doing everything to screw HHH over the past few weeks, so this match idea could easily be dismissed.
2)A Raw Battle Royal is held, involving most of Raw's roster competing for the title. That's how Great Khali won the World Heavyweight title on Smackdown when Edge was injured. WWE.com in fact has a poll listing 24 wrestlers from the roster asking fans to vote for who they would like to see leave as the new WWE champ. A few names like King Booker, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Ron Simmons seem a bit out of reason, but names like HHH, Orton, Umaga, and Mr. Kennedy seem on track. A battle royal makes more sense overall as it gives all of the superstars an opportunity at the belt.
Those 2 above scenarios make sense, but you never know with WWE, with the way surprises occur. Don't rule out someone from Smackdown coming over to Raw, such as Undertaker or Rey Mysterio to take the belt. It's also been highly speculated that Chris Jericho makes his return at No Mercy. Will Jericho somehow be thrust into championship contention in a battle royal or other match? No Mercy just got a bit more interesting, despite Cena's unfortunate circumstances.
