I can see him becoming AJ's next love interest
It would have seemed like a missed opportunity to not make him Kaitlyn's, but she's lost the skunk stripe now.
Cause that worked out well for Ziggler.
I was doing the dishes right after posting that and that was the first thing I thought of! Great minds and all.

bean breath is exactly right; Christmas RAW was fantastic last year and is actually pretty fun as long as you're not a total stick in the mud.

Is Randy wearing that red string on his finger to proclaim his love for JoJo to the world?
I wonder if Vince and H don't realize that they are making Bryan look bad with the current booking? This is like having the Rock play little brother to Stone Cold. Just fucking stupid. They have turned Bryan into a smiling wimp. And the WWE must also not realize that making someone Cena's little brother and have Cena steal their shine ruins people in the end. They are gonna Zack Ryder or Barrett this situation.

Are you asking this question sincerely?
Of COURSE they realize what they're doing.
They've been successfully undermining the pushes of anyone that threatens the status quo of the main event scene for over the past 5 years.
The one thing that isn't going according to plan is that D.Brine's still managing to stay over despite the booking sabotage. That likely means he'll carve out a permanent main event spot over time ala CM Punk once this hazing process has been fully completed provided that he plays ball and doesn't threaten the established order of Cena, Trips, Orton, Taker, Trips' friends and Vince's fixation of the month. If they weren't so afraid of losing his precious merch money, they'd have shaved him and turned him heel by now.

Please, I've been reading conspiracy theories about how people are being held down since the mid-90's. Except in those cases, the people being "held down" weren't in PPV and TV Main Events, making lots of money off merchandise, and hooking up with a Diva.

There are different stages of being "held down". Some guys are more held down than others and some just sabotage themselves by running out of patience. D.Brine's doing quite well for himself. But is he being intentionally curbed below the guys in the tier above him? Of course he is. This isn't a conspiracy so much as simple locker room politics being played out. You don't get to hang with the big boys until you lose to them all repeatedly for months and years regardless of how over or how talented you may be. Even Triple H went through this when he spent a year jobbing out to the likes of Henry O. Godwinn, Savio Vega and a past-his-prime Ultimate Warrior.
Unless you get elevated prematurely for political reasons (i.e. Sheamus, Del Rio, etc.)

I don't think Bryan is being 'held down.' I just think the current WWE is bad at booking outside of their relatively narrow worldview. If you look like Sheamus, you have an either path than if you look like Daniel Bryan. It's not fair, but it's still better than 10 or 15 years ago when Bryan never would've gotten even a look in the WWE.
I think if you talked to Bryan, he'd laugh at the idea he was being held down. People on the Internet probably care far more about his individual wins and losses than he does.

This is undoubtedly true.
There's very little care invested by anything in the WWE outside of brand promotion, individual match efforts by the talent, back-end production (the recap package guys deserve a raise), advertiser solicitation and merchandising initiatives.
Certainly not in booking. Certainly not in commentary. Certainly not in Creative.
I do feel they do a decent job of cultivating talent in NXT and their performance center prior to guys being elevated to the main roster - even if that talent is largely squandered once they arrive.

Considering that Kane is only 3 days shy of being 10 years older than Cena, you're probably right.
20 title reigns is a foregone conclusion.
Whether Cena legitimately puts anyone over before he retires remains to be seen.
Probably not so long as they don't want to risk any of that merch money drying up.

I was hoping for a second generation Cena superstar. Also, lol at him burying all multi-generational superstars,
"I've seen those kids, and I've seen how they turn out."
Sorry Orton, Axel, Rhodes, Goldust, Usos, Natalya, Wyatt, Tamina, Mysterio...
Thank goodness #CeNation #RiseAboveHate #YouCantSeeMe
Cena is going to be tag champ and either IC or WWE WHC at the same time multiple times next year.
Did he really say he didn't want kids because he didn't want wrestling kids? FFS.

Kinda, he said he's seen how kids who have a father in wrestling turn out and he didn't want that

If that's why he doesn't want kids, I can sorta respect that.
Cena probably looked at Hogan's shitty spawns and didn't want that.
Also, Cena will never retire. He's gonna be just like Hogan. Only he'll never do an interesting thing and turn mega heel. He'll just keep towing the company line, keeping people like Bryan down enough notches so they can't grab his spot.
Vince will probably put it in his will that nobody is allowed to replace Cena.

It's pretty amazing.
Cena buried all of his kayfabe opponents over the years.
Buried an entire generation of wrestlers in a worked shoot reality show.
And he buried any potential future offspring from seeing the light of day, and possibly surpassing him in the WWE.
Gotta love him.

Hogan only turned heel because it was effecting his bottom line (ie. merchandise sales) and he was getting booed completely in WCW strongholds. If Hogan was selling Cena-levels of merchandise in 1996 WCW, you're damn right he never would've turned.
Wait a second. Now, a true statement from Cena (lots of kids of wrestlers have f'd up lives) is now proof he's holding people down.
As for keeping Bryan down, Cena's the guy that put over Bryan in the middle of the ring. Can you imagine Hogan ever going down clean in the middle to a knee strike from a 210 pound guy with a beard? In addition, according to all reports, he was the guy who made sure Vince didn't lose his top during the last RAW before TLC, then went out and cut one of the best promos of the year.

Ryback wants to play The Terminator.
Considering he's stiff and robotic in the ring, he's perfect for it.
