I think (I hope) the ONLY reason WWE caved in and gave Ryder a push and the US strap... is so that Cena can beat the living hell out of him once he inevitably "Embraces The Hate." I don't really wanna see him turn heel, but it seems like it's finally going to happen now and I think it'd make the most sense that he goes after Ryder, seeing as Cena went out of his way lately just to make him a star. I think The Internet (all of you) would take Ryder's side over Cena already, and this could all set up nicely for a Cena/Ryder bout at Elimination Chamber.

Probably just over thinking it all, but thought I'd share anyways...

im just glad Cenas not in the Championship picture now and he WILL turn heel sometime soon

It's a pretty solid theory. Be a cool storyline, too.

Except they're playing the whole "Ryder has a broken back" thing. So unless they do a whole hospital set up, and Ryder blaming Cena and Cena flipping shit and kicking his ass, I don't think it will happen for a bit.

WWE.com said Zack Ryder has a "herniated vertebrate" and that Jerry Lawler saying he had a broken back was "reporting off of unreliable reports" or some shit. Simply put, Lawler made the injury sound worse than they wanted us to think, so they won't be keeping him out that long. Considering that's the alleged legitimate injury Orton has, maybe he'll be back in a few weeks.

I agree with Blane about Cena eventually beating on him, by the way, though I hope they gave him the strap because they genuinely wanted to get him over. This current angle could help create the impression that he's a gutsy wrestler, not just a goofball with a catchphrase, that could give him a more withstanding presence in the company.

Or do you guys think it'd make more sense, at this point, if Ryder & Eve turned on Cena first? I don't look much into dirt sheets, but one link said there was a concept of Eve turning heel? Normally, I wouldn't give a shit about a dive turning.. but it'll be apart of this story most likely.

I think that this storyline will continue to suck and Raw will continue to be garbage. I want to believe it will get better, but at this point I have lost all hope

Raw has been better the last few months, than it has been the last 10 years.

Smackdown is the more interesting of the two shows atm. I'm trying to figure out at what point and how they are going to transition this heel turn back to his match with the Rock at WM. It would be totally sweet if he goes in and gets a No DQ or an I Quit match with The Rock and does to the Rock what Rocky did to Foley when he did his big heel turn (handcuff him to the ropes and beat the shit out of him with a chair in the most brutal way possible). That would be the only way I could actually enjoy Cena.

I'm enjoying Raw, but SmackDown is definitely better. Probably for the first time since SmackDown first got started.

I'm loving Jeritroll. It's something new and interesting that I think will eventually lead to a big payoff after tonight. As for Ryder/Cena/Kane, I don't mind it because I think it's a nice throwback to older Kane instead of the borderline serial killer gimmick he used to run. Also, it's making Cena multi-dimensional, something he's sorely needed. I thought Ziggler would be great once he got his main event push, but for some reason I'm not entirely feeling it yet. Punk is amazing as always and even though Laurinaitis can't really do a promo for shit, it's nice to see them using everyone's real life hatred for the guy as an angle.

On SmackDown though, I'm loving pretty much everything. Cody Rhodes is just on a roll and tearing it up on the mic. Shaemus has gotten so much better than when he first came in and got pushed to the moon. Barrett/Orton is quite possibly the best feud going on in the E right now. I like that the angle they're running with Drew McIntyre as I think it's finally going to lead to a solid push for the guy. Hunico I can't stand. DiBiase I wish they did a bit more with. I'm really enjoying the slow heel turn for Daniel Bryan, it's allowing him to get more mic time and be more than just a generic face.

^Agree with Everything Murph has stated. WWE is the best it's been over the last few months, than it has been in a long time.

i dont like john cena or zack ryder right now but its just because of their characters. If what you think will happen happens, i will be one very happy person.

EVE IS A JEZEBEL WHORE! WHY'D SHE HAVE TO GO AND DO THAT TO POOR ZACK RYDAH??!?!?!
