The battle against Bray Wyatt turned out to be one of the best storylines in John Cenas career. Two characters that were at extreme opposite poles fighting it out also were a treat to the WWE Universe.At Payback, the two contested in a last man standing match which many consider as the final chapter of the angle which benefited both the superstars.Now, even if the company is deciding to go forward with this feud or put a stop to it, one factor which they should start thinking about will be the next opponent for John Cena. Cena is pretty much the cover boy of WWE at the moment no matter how the fans react and it would require some good feud to follow up the Bray Wyatt one.So here is a look at the top 5 possible opponents that the WWE might use for Cena after Bray Wyatt.
#5 Big E
Cena expressed his desire to work with Big E some time back. Both superstars know eachother well and Cena is one of the biggest supporters of Big E in the company.
For this to happen, Big E will have to turn heel soon. After losing out to Rusev he is on a downward spiral when it comes to his face run and WWE could just save his career with this feud. It might not be something long, as both the superstars can even work till Money in the Bank.
Since Cena likes Big E, he might even be willing to put Big E over at one stage or the other making it an interesting affair. Big E will be a winner even if he loses the feud in the end as he will get a lot of spotlight because of it.
#4 Brock Lesnar
Lesnar faced off against John Cena when he returned after a short hiatus and lost out to the Cenation leader as well so there is clearly a score to settle as far as Lesnar is concerned.
Paul Heyman’s client is riding on tsunami of momentum after ending Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania and WWE could help take it to a whole new level by having Lesnar face Cena in good lengthy feud.
Lesnar is one of those wrestlers who the fans love to hate and after he ended the streak, the fans will be eager to see him as a heel. This could work well for Cena who has been struggling with dueling chants wherever he goes.
#3 Cesaro
Paul Heyman’s other client and Cena gave the fans some great matches when they got the chance to deliver. Back then, Cesaro used to be running around with Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger as part of the Real Americans.
He was in the underrated category whenever he faced Cena but things have changed a lot after WrestleMania.
Cesaro is on his way to the top right now and by Heyman at his side, many wouldn’t bet against him doing the same. If the company has that amount of faith in Cesaro the first thing that they should give him is a high profile feud.
Bray got some great momentum after facing Cena and Cesaro could get the same alongside Heyman.
#2 Daniel Bryan
It’s one dream feud as far as most of the fans are concerned. Cena and Bryan have shown some exceptional chemistry in their previous encounters and the fans are going to love a multi pay-per-view feud.
John Cena could win the Money in the Bank contract and challenge Bryan for the title or he could just turn heel against the flying goat.
The latter seems impossible at the moment while the former is something which might materialize soon. After all Cena belongs in the title scene and WWE have kept him out of there for a major portion of 2014.
It’s a mouthwatering prospect in all levels and Bryan’s momentum could be boosted even further with this one.
#1 The Authority
For a long time, the Authority has been haunting the top faces in the company. Shield and Daniel Bryan got a taste of some ruthless aggression from the McMahon family and Cena could end up being a more successful opponent for the Authority.
The heel brilliance which runs through the family is inherited well by Stephanie and it’s because of her that Bryan got most of the momentum that he has now.
WWE teased Cena standing up to Stephanie at Raw and the fans received it well when Cena made fun of Hunter’s wife.
It’s a feud with a lot of potential in it and the fans might see the better side of Cena once this unfolds making him fall into either of the side rather than sitting on the fence.
