WWE Payback 2015 : 3 Possible Endings for John Cena vs. Rusev Match

The third chapter of the John Cena vs. Rusev saga is all set to unfold at Payback. What started as a lame copy of the Rocky IV scenario has gone on to survive three whole pay-per-views, much to the surprise of the fans and from the looks of it, this might just be the climax that we are dying for.To raise the stakes from the previous outing, WWE has added an ‘I Quit’ stipulation into the whole thing, which from another angle is a desperate move to keep the stale feud fresh. Hopefully, the in ring action would be solid like it has been throughout and here is a look at the possible ways in which WWE could end the match.

#3 Enter another Anti- American

One of the biggest reasons for Cena still getting cheers in the feud is because of the patriotic strings. No matter which era it is, United States is the biggest babyface that WWE has at their disposal and they have been using it pretty well in the feud. The ‘United States’ championship fits into the puzzle as well.

Assuming that it would be the last chapter of the Cena – Rusev feud, the Cenation leader would need a new opponent once he is done with Rusev. Win or Lose, the next opponent for Cena is a big headache for WWE and the best option they have now is Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior is thriving in his heel role at the moment and would shine if put up against Cena.

Sheamus being an Irishman could help WWE pull off the Anti-American angle as well and since Sheamus knows how to talk, unlike Rusev, it would be more interesting.

#2 Cena does what he does best

John Cena is subjected to a lot of criticism these days for his notoriety of not putting over young talent. Most of his fans would suggest that he only does what the company asks him to do but it hasn’t been the case always. Either way, Cena is a sure shot winner at Payback and the way in which WWE lets Rusev lose will determine whether this is a burial match or not.

If Rusev says out the magical words cleanly like this possibility suggests, then it is going to be bad news for the Bulgarian Brute. The fans would find it hard to see Rusev as a monster after this and the way in which WWE could avoid it forms our next possible ending.

#1 Lana throws in the towel

The friction that exists between Lana and Rusev has been played up well by WWE during this entire feud and an ‘I Quit’ match is the perfect scenario to pull the plug. Lana could throw in the towel on behalf of Rusev at Payback which would in turn give WWE a lot of positives.

First of all, Rusev is spared from the clean loss that will bury his career and secondly, it helps them to get Lana away from the monster and give her a push that is being planned. Cena successfully retains his title as well making it a good situation for everyone. It also accelerates the ascension of Lana on the main roster and it would be interesting to see what WWE has in plans for her.
