Lack Of Face Main Eventers On Raw

[Guest Reality Checked]

I was talking with my brother and we realised the lack of singles Face main eventers, able to fued with edge for the WWE title,on Raw. With Triple H and Shawn Michaels are both with DX, doing there own things with The McMahons, it leaves:

 

John Cena - majority of fans are becoming tierd of seeing him in the main event, and half the fans boo him anyway.

 

possably Carlito, but he would need a huge push before getting anywhere near the title, although he is very over with the fans.

 

What does everyone else think? Anyone else you can think of?

There's also Kane and Flair.

 

Edge is the only main event heel

[Guest Reality Checked]

True, I forgot about Kane and Flair. But the difference for heels is that Edge is the champion, and you don't usually have heel vs heel matches. I probably didn't say that it was fueds for the title, so apologies :)

 

In my opinion though, Flair is too old to be holding the WWE title, and can't pull out a decent singles match IMO.

 

Kane hasn't been seen on our screens for about 2 weeks now.

[Guest DarkMatchJobber]

When in doubt turn a heel into a face then you don't have to worry about a lack of face challengers !

[Guest Chriscare]

Kane missed ONE episode of Raw. Anyway expect Edge vs Cena to last til summerslam, then Cena will have it back so lack of face opponents will no longer be a problem.

[Guest porridge]

This isn't really a problem right now. Everyone knows that the Cena/Edge feud will carry on till Summerslam at least, and after that you can always bring HHH or HBK back in the main event scene.

[Guest bloodymayhem]

Well i think there is a shortage of main eventers on both the brands. Most of them have been suspended, out with injuries or just plain lame

 

lets see for the title we have Cena, and hmm...thats it...not an ideal situation

[Guest Gooneronastick]

Edge is the only main event heel

 

You're forgetting everyone's favourite backstage d*ckhead, young Randy Orton. He is most certainly main event.

That is true. Like him or loathe him, he's got all the tools. If he'd just screw the nut. Actually, given his rep (alledgedly) im not sure it was a good idea saying that......:D

[Guest Adam Gill]

It's obvious Kane is coming back as "masked Kane" and i'm sure it will be as a face so I think he will be the first challenger (ignoring John Cena's title match at Saturday Night's Main Event) to Edge's title.

 

Also it looks like Randy Orton versus Hulk Hogan is going to happen at SummerSlam and surely with it being Hogan it will headline the show, which means the pressure won't be on Edge and Kane to really draw for the show because I can't see WWE managment having much faith in Edge and Kane doing so as the main event, otherwise I doubt it would happen.

 

I can't see them going with Edge/Cena, it's been done to death these past few months and they have a match at Saturday Night's Main Event, plus I can't see Edge having another short reing with the big belt, hence they will be no reason for the pair to continue their feud, i.e the old "re-match clause".

 

So Edge/Kane for me. :)

[Guest the HiTman]

There is a shortage of proper talent full stop, let alone main eventers. Yeah there are plenty of guys on the roster but 90% are rubbish in and out of the ring.

[Guest The Phenom Billz]

I think kane would be better off coming back as a heel but since there is a shortage of face main eventers on RAW he'l probably come back as a face. Cena isn't a full face in my opinion and its just a matter of time IF and WHEN he will turn heel. Its early for carlito to become a main eventer he needs a few more reigns as IC champ and needs more of a catchy gimmick as i can't see carlito holding the WWE for a long time at the moment.

[Guest Chriscare]

It's obvious Kane is coming back as "masked Kane" and i'm sure it will be as a face so I think he will be the first challenger (ignoring John Cena's title match at Saturday Night's Main Event) to Edge's title.

 

 

Obvious to who? I wouldn't have even said it was a possibility never mind obvious. The crowd were dead for the entire Kane vs Kane thing, why would they possibly decide to mask Kane again.

 

As for the whole not enough face main eventers on Raw, there's 5, that's plenty. You can't say 'oh well Trips and HBK don't count cos they're involved in another story line' what do you expect, they can't give them nothing to do while the Cena and Edge feud goes on til summerslam. It's not like DX will go on past then anyway

 

And what with the 'Kane should comeback as a heel'?? He's just missed one show, coming back is what you do after months off

[Guest Reality Checked]

As for the whole not enough face main eventers on Raw' date=' there's 5, that's plenty.[/quote']

 

Triple H and Shawn Michaels are with DX. Now i'm not saying that counts them out, i'm just saying there's a possability that neither one will be facing for the title anytime soon.

 

Cena - majority are sick and tierd of him, and he gets half boo's anyway. As for him having the title at Summerslam, some can see it, some can't. I for one, don't see it coming.

 

Kane - nobody knows if he's coming back masked, unmasked, heel or face.

 

Who else are legitemate main eventers right now? I only count 4 there. As I mentioned, Carlito COULD be one of them, but not in the near future.

[Guest Chriscare]

first off, for the millionth time Kane has gone no where, he's missed a show. Nothing has happened for anyone to even think he's gone or turning heel.

 

And even if Cena doesnt regain the title at summerslam, which seems highly unlikely as what else are they going to do with him. DX and McMahon will have finished, which leaves HBK or Triple H open to go for the title anyway.

 

WWE do plan things in advance you know. They're not just thinking, summerslam is in a month, ah well it'll sort itself.

 

I think the real question is who's going to feud with Cena after he wins the title back, and if it's Orton who does that leave for wrestlemania?

[King]

when the DX fizzles out HHH will go after cena again

[Guest Chriscare]

they'd have to turn Cena Heel first, which doesn't look to be in the works

[Guest Matt]

Put Randy orton in against either Edge or Cena and he'll instantly be a face.

[Guest Chriscare]

Edge is against Cena, hasn't made him a face

[Guest DarkMatchJobber]

I think WWE should book an elimination chamber match at summerslam for the WWE title with the reigning champion Edge defending his gold against John Cena,Randy Orton,Ric Flair,Shelton Benjamin and Carlito. Edited July 8, 2006 by DarkMatchJobber

[Guest MrKnow]

WWE should book an elimination chamber match for Edge's WWE title at Summerslam because I see no one individual capable of attracting fans to buy the PPV for a one on one match with Edge.

 

Maybe a shock participant who is only revealed once the first five entrants have entered the chamber ?

 

I think Edge should defend against John Cena,Shelton Benjamin,Ric Flair,Randy Orton and the mystery entrant The Undertaker,the deadman could win the title and feud with Edge on the way to wrestlemania in a match where the winner leaves with his undefeated streak intact and the wwe title around his waist.

 

I really believe that at either Summerslam or Unforgiven....it will be Cena, Edge and A.N Other in a Triple Threat ......possiblly a remasked Kane....

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

WWE or mainly VInce McMahon could make a star out of anyone. Well some have no hope, even he can't do nothing with them. I reckon if need be someone will get a push to quick like Orton had a while back. But I say no problems at the moment.

 

Face's: Cena, HHH, HBK

Hell's: Edge, Orton.

 

Cena and Edge at in a program for a while, so no need to worry.

HHH and HBK are in a program too with Vince and Spirit Squad.

Orton has Hogan to do with.

 

Then what after Summerslam Cena wins goes on with Orton and does a program, Edge and HHH and HBk takes time off. Or Cena loses and does something like help Umaga's push and then Edge and HHH feud and Orton faces HBK or Cena if Cena doesn't push Umaga. It will all sort itslef out. The real problem is ECW!

[Guest The Phenom Billz]

exactly the title hunt would have more people if Big show & RVD didn't switch to ECW :( i want Orton champion by WM23 and edge to have a long reign as champion to build up his status as a top heel main eventer.

[Guest CoTT]

I do not consider Kane or Flair to be main eventers. Kane himself has admitted that he's not interested in title shots anymore and is ready to retire. Flair is wrestling much less and will probably only put people over for the next year before a final match at WrestleMania probably. So that leaves:

 

Faces: HHH, John Cena, HBK

Heels: Edge, Randy Orton, Umaga (possibly)

 

I see Cena regaining his title against Edge and probably going on to face Umaga but defeating him also. I think a HHH/Edge feud will materialise at some stage although the title may not be involved. HHH/Orton could happen again also at some stage. The long-term plan is probably to have Orton/Cena at WrestleMania.

[Murph]

The Spirit Squad seem to feature regularly along the Main Event scene in the WWE, some of them must be poised for success (most likely Kenny).
