5 WWE superstars who could be contenders for the SmackDown Championship

John Cena

Sweet 16 is waiting

It’s been a long time since John Cena started his wait to equal the record of Ric Flair. Cena needs a major championship to conquer this record but at the same time, he has been kept away from the main event scene for quite some time now.

But with the brand split coming in, WWE will have to elevate John Cena back to the main event status.

Cena is a big draw and making him the champion at SmackDown will be the best move to boost the show. SmackDown needs someone like him to create the buzz and Cena winning his 16th title will redefine the word buzz for the brand.
