Why is it that beating Cena would somehow be "his ticket to staying in the main event" when the fact of the matter is, NONE of his matches with Cena were (technically) main event matches? And why are you also assuming that if, say, Daniel Bryan comes back and remains champion, that Bray's not right back in the main event picture that y'all are so scared he's fallen out of?
See, this is what I'm talking about. Bray Wyatt is over. Has been over. Will continue to be over. He's on a rocket ship to being a top guy. He doesn't need to be in the main event to be on that rocket ship. And he certainly doesn't "need" to beat John Cena to get over, or get elevated. "Certain wrestlers" like Bray don't need the main event, nor do they need the decisive win over Cena to be elevated.
You guys are arguing as if Bray Wyatt was some scrappy newcomer who didn't beat anybody until the Rumble this year, and only needed to be strongly put over by that corny asshole Cena, and if he didn't, then he'd fall out of Main Event Heaven™ (which is like Outer Heaven except it's for pro wrestling, I guess), and also be sentenced to a career of jobbing out on Superstars and/or NXT. That's far from the case. From all accounts, dude has a good head on his shoulders, is eager to keep learning, and continues to be a good worker in the ring. All of those things count more than wins, losses, and "being elevated to the main event."
Look, I get it. It feels good to see a guy we like get a win over a guy we're tired of. But ultimately, what Kreative™ is going to do is what Kreative™ is going to do, regardless of who wins or who loses.
And no, that doesn't mean, "just shut up and enjoy the product." And it's also less about allegedly going hard for Cena than it is trying to understand and comment on this constant pissing in the wind that I see, and this escape-goating that people like to do when it comes to the guy, as if he's in control of Kreative™ and booking.
Now, as far as Bray goes, how much "stronger" does a guy have to be in going toe-to-toe with the top babyface in the company, only to be defeated with the help of 3 set props? And if I'm not mistaken, didn't he pretty much dominate their Mania match?
To me, this argument for Bray "needing" oh so bad to score a pinfall win over John Cena still boils down to nothing more than, "Well, because it would be awesome cause Bray's cool and we've never seen it before so why not plus it would magically elevate Bray plus Cena would be doing what's best for business." Which sry no.
Oh, hey, does anyone here remember when The Miz scored that big huge main event win over John Cena at Mania 27? Remember how much it "elevated" him?
Yeah, me neither.
And as far as Cena "needing" the win at Payback, it's nothing more than basic booking 101, gang. The babyface almost always gets the win in the rubber match of the feud (assuming the Payback match was the blowoff match). There is no other real purpose for Bray Wyatt to "win" the 3rd match in this feud except to satisfy the vague internet wrestling community talk about him staying elevated in Main Event Heaven™ if he won, even though he hasn't been in the main event on any show at all this year but is steady on the rise, a rise that WILL NOT be derailed because of a loss to SuperCena.
To that end, since we're asking questions that aren't being answered, here's one I haven't seen answered: say Bray gets this awesome great incredible win over the too-powerful asshole Cena and is elevated -- or is it, remains? -- to Main Event Heaven™ where the new guys we like go when they beat stale company gimmick guys. What then? Who's next in line for the new "older" wrestling fan-approved main event angel Bray Wyatt? Sheamus? Ziggler? Kofi? R Truth? Show? RVD? Big E? Daniel Bryan? Bray can be put (back) with Daniel Bryan regardless of whether or not he beat John Cena... which is my point. And even if he's put with Sheamus it's not the end of the world. No, it's really not, guys.
If Bray Wyatt suddenly starts jobbing out, or somehow gets lost in the shuffle, it won't be because John Cena's backstage "stroke" made it so, or because the loss to that corny prick Cena at Payback signaled to whomever that he just wasn't ready for the big time. That's not how this shit works, guys. It's not as cut-and-dry as "See, ever since he lost to that asshole Cena he's been forgotten/losing, fuck WWE."
The assumption is, that if Kreative™ simply just puts Bray Wyatt over Cena, then they'll have an easier and more clear Kreative™ path than they do now because they went with the same-ol'-shit of Cena winning.
Again, false. Kreative™ is going to do whatever they do, and fuck everything up, regardless.
Now, as far as where Bray goes from here, who knows? Like I said, they may put him with Daniel Bryan when/if he comes back soon. They may not. But if they don't, it won't be because they "fucked it up" by having him lose to an equipment case after a 25-minute junk match where he more than held his own (once again) against the company's top guy.
Y'all are my people, and I OVERstand the frustration, but this Sky-is-Falling-and-it's-Cena's-Fault business is crazy. And I don't have to be an alleged "Cena mark" to say that.
