If the Cenation thought John Cena’s schedule as a WWE Champion would get any easier once he turned back the sizable challenge of Ryback at WWE Payback, they were sorely mistaken.

At Money in the Bank on July 14, The Champ will face a new monster of a contender in the form of Mark Henry, the 400-pound-plus powerhouse who thrives on causing pain and appears bent not just on destruction, but also on capturing the WWE Title around Cena’s waist.

Raw Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero made the championship bout official on the June 17 edition of Raw after The World’s Strongest Man callously leveled Cena only one night removed from The Champ’s Three Stages of Hell Match against Ryback. In the moments immediately preceding the attack, Henry delivered what many believed to be a heartfelt swan song meant to cap off a stellar 17-year career in WWE. Instead, Henry’s retirement speech was merely a ruse, a setup used to lull a respectful Cena into a false sense of security and make him easy prey.




Now, the Cenation leader and Henry are on a collision course for July 14, and if Cena loyalists aren't concerned about their hero’s title reign — not to mention his physical well-being — they ought to be.

Ill-tempered even on the best of days, Henry is sporting a huge chip on his shoulder, and it seemingly has everything to do with a single objective: winning the WWE Championship that has eluded him in his near two decades of competition. WWE fans will remember that Henry set his sights on Cena the night after WrestleMania 29, only to have another monster, Ryback, steal the spotlight with a high-profile act of betrayal.

Lost in the commotion was the fact that Henry pinned Ryback on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Considering how much trouble Cena had overcoming the Shell Shocking Superstar in recent months, will he be up to the challenge of Mark Henry, one of WWE’s few competitors to hold a completely valid pinfall victory over “The Human Wrecking Ball”?

Henry also takes a discomforting amount of pride in being the reckless and ruthless gatekeeper of the “Hall of Pain.” The list of Superstars who have been put out of action by the superheavyweight is lengthy, reading like a “Who’s who” of WWE. Could The Champ — who’s been plagued by injuries as varied as bone chips in his elbow to a nearly torn meniscus to a torn Achilles tendon — be walking into the most dangerous match of his 11th WWE Title reign at Money in the Bank?

Find out what happens when Cena’s indefatigable spirit is put to the test by more than 400 pounds of bad attitude and bone-breaking expertise. To watch all the action, catch WWE Money in the Bank live on pay-per-view on Sunday, July 14.

The biggest match of Henry's career.

Finally, a WWE Championship match in 2013 that I actually WANT to see.

I had the exact same thought. It was easy to avoid Ryback/Cena because I don't give two shits about Ryback either. Now that Cena is going against Henry, though... ugh.

I don't want to get invested in this feud because it's probably just going to be the same ol' shit of feeding someone to Cena. I guess I'll watch the Henry parts of the promos and skip over the Cena parts as best I can. When it comes to the actual match, I won't be able to force myself to watch it. Because what will happen is I'll be rooting hard for Henry to take the strap off Cena and will be pissed off all over again when he doesn't. What I'll do is skip to the end of the match to see if Henry wins. If he does, then I'll go back and watch the whole match knowing I can enjoy it without the fuck job coming at the end. If he doesn't, then I won't get that feeling of being screwed over yet again by the WWE and will have saved myself the wasted time.

Re: Can Mark Henry beat Cena and become WWE champion?

Please god don't take the belt off Cena to give Henry a short title reign. Then the belt goes right back on Cena and he is one more title reign closer to passing Ric Flair.

NO ONE needs to see that.
Pro-wrestling records really don't mean anything. Always amuses me when people get wound up about such things.

Cena will probably end up with more reigns than Flair - because he just to happens to be the most marketable person at the moment. It doesn't mean he's more skilled than the guy. These types of decisions are taken with money in mind.

Want Henry to get his much deserved WWE title, but at the same time I want a credible WWE Champion John Cena to put over Daniel Bryan....just don't know what to choose :( It just would seem right if say Henry won the title at MITB and Bryan wins MITB and sets up a triple threat between Bryan,Cena,and Henry at SummerSlam with Bryan winning the title and having John Cena chase him for the title...just doesn't seem right.

No question Henry deserves the title more than Cena. Vince needs to let someone who has put all their heart and effort into the business win and not someone who just gets handed out wins and titles every god damn PPV to make his 10 year old fans happy.

Re: MITB WWE Championship - John Cena vs. Mark Henry

Really hope Henry wins and then drops it to Bryan at SummerSlam.

I think this is a breath of fresh air from Ryback and, since Henry beat Ryback at WrestleMania 29, the match I wish they would have went with right out of the gate.

It would be nice to see Henry win the WWE Title, but the match WWE should be building to is Cena/Bryan at SummerSlam, so I expect and hope that this match plays into that, so Cena should win. Maybe Bryan wins the WWE Title MITB and they do a staredown to end the PPV.
