4 Reasons why John Cena (and not Kofi Kingston) should dethrone Daniel Bryan as the WWE Champion

John Cena, one of the modern greats of WWE, is one of the highly decorated and respected names in the Pro Wrestling business. Once the poster boy of WWE, The leader of Cenation has transitioned himself into a part-timer now.

Though Mr Hustle, Loyalty and Respect is currently busy shooting for his upcoming movie, he is rumoured to return just in the nick of the time to feature in a match at WrestleMania 35. And while a US Championship match against Samoa Joe was rumoured for Cena on April 7, the latest rumours suggest that he could be the potential opponent of Kurt Angle in his retirement match.

On another note, Daniel Bryan and Kofi are expected to clash with each other at WrestleMania 35 for the WWE Championship.

However, in this article, we are going to talk about the prospects of John Cena becoming the World Championship for the 17th time in his career. Though a bit distant at this point in time, the prospects of Cena dethroning Daniel Bryan to win the WWE Championship, could be on the cards after WrestleMania 35.

So, without further ado, we take a look at 4 reasons why John Cena and not Kofi Kingston, would dethrone Daniel Bryan as the WWE Champion.

#4 The 17th title reign is long overdue

Cena is currently tied with Ric Flair with 16 title reigns apiece

John Cena has 16 title reigns under his belt and is currently at a tie with one of the all-time legends, Ric Flair.

After speculating and predicting John Cena's 17th title reign for nearly 2 years, the WWE Universe seems to have forgotten about the same as of late.

While Cena was expected to break the record of Ric Flair in 2017 itself, it seems things did not turn out on expected terms as it has been quite some time since Cena had a proper title run. Thus, it's high time WWE award him with the much deserved 17th title win.

All in all, a 17th title reign for Cena has been long overdue and 2019 has to be the year in which he breaks the record of Flair, WWE owes this to The Leader of Cenation

#3 Kofi Kingston is rumoured to lose at WrestleMania 35

It would be heartbreaking for Kofi's fans.

Even though it has not been officially confirmed yet, Kofi Kingston is expected to face Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 for the WWE Championship. However, the latest rumours suggest that Kofi might not be walking out as the new WWE Champ on April 7.

Yes, according to the latest reports, WWE is planning on to establish Daniel as the top heel on the blue brand and he is not likely to drop the title anytime soon. On top of that, the recent push of Kofi could be a one-off thing and he may succumb to Daniel on April 7.

Thus, as heartbreaking as it may sound, a win for the high flyer is unlikely for WrestleMania 35.

On another note, it would be interesting to see how WWE plans to explain Kofi's loss on April 7(if it happens). Is a heel turn in store for The New Day at WrestleMania 35?

#2 The history between Daniel Bryan and John Cena plus Cena deserves a title reign before it's too late

Would not it be interesting to see these two legends inside the ring once again?

The current WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan and The Leader Of Cenation have quite a history between them. While the duo had squared off on a few occasions before, the feud of 2013 leading to a blockbuster match at Summerslam 2013 has to be the highlight of their rivalry.

While the duo have been getting better of each other on multiple occasions, there is always room for some more. Is not it, folks?

Given the history that the duo share, WWE could have another Bryan vs Cena feud which would not only grab a lot of eyeballs but would be 'best for business'.

On another note, given Cena has transitioned himself into a part-timer, plus, WWE has been undermining him a bit on the last few occasions, he needs to have a legit title run before it becomes irrelevant. He needs to win that elusive 17th title and have a proper run before his time is finally up(if it is not already).

#1 WWE might have already planned the same

Could it happen at Summerslam?

Well, not long ago, the talks of a potential match between John Cena and Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 were making rounds all over the Internet. However, it all came to a halt when WWE decided to push Kofi into the limelight.

Nonetheless, given WWE discussed a potential match between Cena and Bryan for the Championship could mean that it might not be long before Cena is brought back into the title picture. Who knows, they might have already planned it for the near future.

Given, Bryan is expected to reign as the WWE Champion for a considerable amount of time, plus, Kofi's recent push expected to be a one-off thing, a potential blockbuster in the likes of Cena vs Bryan for the Championship could be on the cards for Summerslam 2019. Also, it would be fitting for WWE to crown Cena at one of the biggest pay-per-views of the year.
