Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
A more salient question is how long they plan to have Owens wandering around the main roster with the NXT title.

Nothing says "badass" to Raw audiences like "I dropped the belt off-camera to a guy you don't know in the minor leagues."
Until he drops it to Baron Corbin in Corbin's Raw debut in a 17 second squash match where he is handed a Roman Reigns-like vest
Isn't the 4th of July show more of a WWE/NXT hybrid event though?
On a scale of 1 - 10, how shocked will you be if Cena looses this Sunday?
As a follow up....if they do a third match, how shocked would you be if Cena goes a decisive 0 - 3 against Kevin Owens?
To me, Cena has always been a stand-up guy in that he's willing to give younger talent the rub of working with him, but he almost never lets them ultimately get over him....especially in a feud that questions all that he stands for like Owens does.
Still, WWE has a rocket on Owens back and they're giving him this feud right out of the gate. That is huge as most people have to work up to Cena and it would seriously hurt Owens to have him loose.

I don't know what the result will be other than there's no way Cena loses clean again. He might lose, but if it happens it probably just means Owens will cheat. If Owens cheats in a way that gets him stripped of the NXT title, even more convieeeeeeeeenent.

I say Owens wins clean.
But if there is a third match, you bet your ass Cena will win and completely invalidate Owens' previous wins.

Cena already did that by saying "lol I still got the title." There's no way Owens goes over Cena clean twice in a row.
unintended fat shaming?
Listen, I don't want to compare every up and coming wrestler to Bray. But I haven't seen 'the brass' behind a wrestler as much as they were behind Bray at first in a long time. And we saw what happened there.

does Mysterio count? Cause Mysterio is my answer.
Mix WWE title/World Title histories? If so, Jack Swagger is a good candidate. Swagger beat Orton in that single PPV win he had as champ, though. Rollins two title defenses have been pretty poor.

Mysterio wasn't champ long enough to really have a strong or weak reign. He had to fight twice in one night!
Against a fresh Cena!

Because there is a PPV every other week to go along with FREE NETWORK and Reigns slippers.
They must let anyone wrestle in Jersey if they let a guy from the neighborhood car wash in the ring.

Wow totally forgot he even had the title.
They will probably do some kind of build for it after MITB.
The next PPV Battleground ain't till July 19th, so a July 4th special event to build to would keep them on the 2 weeks between PPV schedule.
Only odd thing would be the Japan Network Special would be at an odd time.

WWE owes Jake the Snake a lot given that half of the moves performed by the entire roster are either the DDT or DDT variants.
Of course, Jake the Snake actually made the move look like it hurts.

Christian would be the weakest.
Never won a single match as champion. Constantly lost to Orton except for 1 DQ win.
MOST EVEN FEUD IN WWE HISTORY according to Michael Cole.
Did Bray beat Cena clean in his debut match? I don't believe so. Beating Cena clean is so unheard of, when someone made a list it was like ten matches total.

Okada taking the strap back friends
People should watch Dragon lee. Especially if he's going up against Negro Casas

Never forget
FOUR STAR MATCHES!
GREAT FEUDS!
Christian finally got the belt back by being kicked in the dick, I mean that's hilarious in so many ways.
Kane's WWE title reign is pretty shit, he wins a match that massively favours him by ring attire alone and isn't even the one to cause first blood on Austin, Kane's out on his arse as he wins the title, they really booked themselves into a corner here.
My man barely gets 24 hours with the belt before the Austin Era continues on like nothing happened.
Reminding me of what a waste that was; and as a service it was to boost Orton of all people.
List of all the people Cena has lost completely clean to in a 1 on 1 match with no interference or shenanigans at all since his first WWE title win:
Brock Lesnar
HBK
Batista
The Rock
Daniel Bryan
HHH
Kevin Owens
List of people who have pinned Cena clean in multi-man matches
Justin Gabriel
Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns sure is in good company.

Does Dolph count as a weak champ even though he was injured during most of his reign?
I can only pray for either of those guys to have the strap... but the harsh reality is one of those dudes not drawing a dime, not going to win the belt, and he's my favorite wrestler
.
I would have to watch the match again to remember exactly, but there was a point in the Owens Neville match I thought was odd where Owens was in the corner with Neville and the ref was asking Owens "What do you want with me?" or something of that nature, loud enough to be picked up on the mic.
It was so out of the norm it made me do a double take like....did I just hear that?

I almost forgot that he was champ, if it weren't for the Raw after Mania cash in pop I'd probably have forgotten it entirely, did he even get to defend the belt before getting Swaggered?

I honestly don't remember anything about that reign besides Raw after Mania and the concussion.
Look up Neville vs zayn and you can see how good he really is.

Cena is putting in career work right now. There's no way he loses come Sunday.
WWE needs more overachievers like Ryder if anything. And then for creative to actually guide the journey well...

Roddy Strong is very GIFable. I'll have to go back and grab a couple after finishing Super Strong Style Day 2.
They definitely need more overachievers like Ryder, so long as they dont whine on Twitter like Ryder did too
