John Cena vs. Rusev Announced for WWE Payback 2015

Joseph ZuckerApr 26, 2015

The rivalry between John Cena and Rusev isn't over, even after Cena's victory at Extreme Rules. According to WWE, the two will battle in an I Quit match at Payback next month.

Cena and Rusev are fresh off their battle in a Russian chain match for the United States title. The champion retained after he touched all four corners of the ring in successive order. Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment on Rusev just before hitting the fourth and final corner.

These two have already wrestled on the last three pay-per-views. Rusev won at Fastlane, and Cena got his revenge at WrestleMania and Extreme Rules. Botchamania's Maffew Gregg wonders what is left in the feud:

Dan Ryckert of Giant Bomb added that the chances Cena loses an I Quit match seem slim:

A victory would be huge for Rusev after his momentum has steadily declined ever since WrestleMania. Another defeat and he's teetering on Bray Wyatt territory. Wyatt was stuck in neutral for months after his rivalry with Cena. The very same could easily happen for Rusev.

Plus, Cena has almost nothing to gain from another win over Rusev. The U.S. title has already obtained more prestige during Cena's title reign, and the "Bulgarian Brute" would get so much heat if he forced the champ to quit.
