UOW Facebook has been getting a lot of messages about what all this will mean for the WWE Championship and Wrestlemania etc, now that Cena has gone heel.
So, here are my thoughts on all this. Of course I could be wrong and they could go in a whole different direction.
Firstly I thought this soul angle was a bit silly BUT now I think this may be a smart move, story line wise. Whoever wrote this story line maybe could have done it a different way without Rock looking like Satan asking for Rhodes soul. lol.
This could be possible:
Cena has gone heel, as EVERYONE has wanted for so many years. Now he has The Final Boss on his side, which also could be fun if Triple H gets involved. Rock has always wanted to get Rhodes back since he slapped him, remember he said, no one has ever slapped him and gets away with it to Rhodes on RAW last week and Rhodes screwed up his match with Reigns because of the cry babies. Even when he asked Rhodes for his soul on RAW last week, he left the ring with a smirk on his face. That one little smirk could have meant a HUGE thing and the comment of him being slapped. So this could have been all planned as he knew Rhodes would say "no."
Now Cena can win his 17th championship at Wrestlemania and be the top of the most championships list as Flair does not deserve to be there because he only won about two actual WWE championships to get to 16, all the others were in other wrestling companies WWE acquired. Cena won all 16 in WWE.
Once Cena has won the championship, two things could happen:
1. Cena wins at Wrestlemania and Rhodes heroically wins it back later in the year, at a PLE. This means Rhodes defeats The Final Boss and WWE Universe will love him even more. Very Stone Coldish style story line.
2. Cena wins the championship and retires with it and WWE bring in a brand new championship. The WWE Undisputed championship was created with the merge of the Universal and WWE championships anyway. Last year I thought they were going to change it back to the WWE championship as most backstage wanted that and actually just call it the WWE championship. Even I posted and called it just the WWE championship because I thought they were going to do that. So this way, they would get a brand new WWE championship belt and Cena gets to retire as a champion. Maybe they have a tournament for a new championship.
We will wait and see now.
