#1 Overall WWE Champion
Many of the dirtsheets are predicting that the American hero John Cena will be facing off against the Modern Day Maharaja Jinder Mahal in the near future. Whether that is to happen before or after Summerslam is unsure, but the feud looks pretty set in stone. When that occurs, the 16-time world champion will be a favourite to go over, and if he does, it will benefit the WWE as a whole.
Whilst being Universal Champion, the Beast has appeared on a handful RAWs since Wrestlemania. Why? Because he’s rarer than a part-time talent, he’s Brock Lesnar. He’s a champion that fights on PPVs that suit him and appears on shows that he’s paid for.
Now if John Cena were able to reclaim the WWE title, he would be a crossover champion who could perform on both shows, thus negating the never apparent Brock Lesnar. The title win could even set up an eventual Champion vs. Champion match at Clash of Champions between the two world title holders. How’s that for a ratings boost.
