WWE: Why John Cena Deserves WWE Title More Than CM Punk

John Cena is a better all-around performer than CM Punk. Plain and simple.

When people think of John Cena, they think of one of the greatest WWE Champions of all time and one of the best talkers the WWE has ever heard.

Love him or hate him, every single person stands up when his music hits. Whether they boo or cheer, they’re standing.

That’s Cena’s job.

The IWC will complain when every pay-per-view-card is headlined by Cena, but they watch through their jaded eyes anyway and see the crowd lose their minds win, lose or draw.

Cena has the IT factor to entice any crowd into a frenzy. While CM Punk can work certain crowds over, he doesn’t have what IT takes to stay at the top.

Punk has garnished so much attention and publicity over his epic shoot promo on Raw all those week back and through all the subsequent matches and mic work, but how long will the crowd stay interested?

Not only am I not sold on Punk, but the WWE brass doesn’t think he can cut it either.

If the WWE believed Punk could carry the federation at the biggest PPVs of the year, they wouldn’t be infusing all of these other storylines into his.

The reason they had Cena feud with Punk in the first place is because the company wanted to get Punk over by using the hype Cena had created over all the years he has been killing it in main events.

After using Cena to get where he is, Punk can’t hold the spotlight alone, so the WWE decided to relegate him back to the mid-card again and let Cena feud with Alberto Del Rio.

With Punk going against Triple H and Kevin Nash, the internet wrestling community will get their fill of shoot promos and people talking trash, while the main event will be what people want, a well-wrestled match featuring Cena.

Punk has the charisma of a sponge and just because he can use the mic to talk trash doesn’t mean he can back any of it up.

Cena is a far better showman and even has the slight edge at putting on a better match inside the ring, but it’s his ability to get a crowd out of their seats that makes him far superior to Punk.

Punk was a paper champion who held out for more money, and that’s what we will remember him for when he shows up on WWE.com’s Where are they Now articles in five years.
