A New Era?

WrestleMania is one of the most exciting times of the year. One interesting thing about this year as opposed to previous years is the situation that John Cena is in. As one of the biggest stars to come out of the WWE, John Cena is considered the “face” of the company. Over 10 years ago, Cena defeated the Big Show and won the United States Championship at WrestleMania XX. Since that 2004 match, Cena has exploded into being one of the biggest stars ever from professional wrestling, being a 15 time WWE Champion. At this year’s WrestleMania, he faces Rusev for the United States title.

While the US Title is very prestigious, I never thought I would see the day where Cena finds himself in a mid-card title match, let alone a match at the granddaddy of them all, WrestleMania. With mainstream movie roles coming up and having been in the company for over ten years, this appears t is the mark of a new chapter of Cena’s career. While he’s not done just yet, it gives more of an opportunity for other wrestlers to enter the championship spotlight while having Cena still chasing a title. It’s actually a refreshing change and it’s interesting to see what will happen next for the “face” of the WWE.
