BASH AT THE...SURVIVOR SERIES

This idea or theory will likely end up in the "beating a dead horse" pile, along with all the other theories and opinions of those who want John Cena to finally turn heel. However, there is always that small chance that it could come to fruition. Didn't have social media in the late 80's and early to mid-90's, so not too sure how people viewed the "Hogan Era". Hulk Hogan as a baby face did run dry, and eventually lead to one of the greatest moments in wrestling history, when the Hulkster turned heel, and formed the n.W.o. with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

Survivor Series is the next WWE pay per view, and they will have a classic Survivor Series match with Team Cena facing off against Team Authority. First, there is the obvious Hogan comparison. Started as a heel, then turned into a baby face, and hasn't looked back despite how dry the character is becoming. Cena has said that all the fans would simply start cheering him, and he is right. Same thing really happened with Hogan when he turned. Sure he got his share of boo's as heels do, but like the rest of the n.W.o. he became "cool" again (for a period of time) and rejuvenated his career. John Cena needs to do this, and take things to another level, or at least in another direction. Number one money maker in WWE, but imagine the profits if he were popular with the majority again. Also, Cena has been sporting a lot of red and yellow (before Breast Cancer Awareness effort in October).
Second, they have hinted at a Cena heel turn on a few occasions. Most notably, joining The Authority. Who is whom Team Cena will be facing at Survivor Series. It's almost a perfect setting, more so if remaining similar to Hogan. Of course it doesn't all have to be the same as Hulksters turn, but most of wrestling is reused, but updated and tweaked story lines, etc. At least it will add something new for the next Cena vs Orton feud, which we all know will eventually happen again one day (it's their new Rock/HHH from back in the day).

Mostly by the IWC, but regardless, it would be an opportunity to help squash those comments and put over new baby faces, instead of crushing heels which include those who turned in order to fit into the main event picture. Goldberg was over, but became "the man" after Hollywood Hulk Hogan did the honors. Dolph Ziggler? Kofi Kingston? The list long regardless of who should be on it.

It has been shot down over and over, but with the WWE Network being rumored as the reason for The Streak ending makes it a possibility. Even if just a very small one. Survivor Series would be a great place and time to do so. A sure way for him to continue to receive boo's from the crowd would be to have his relationship with Nikki Bella part of the storyline.

THE DEADMAN WILL RISE AGAIN!

Was Wrestlemania XXX the last we will see of The Undertaker? It could have been. However, there is a good chance that we haven't seen the last of The Phenom. The Streak may have ended, and he only returned the last few years to perform at Wrestlemania, but isn't he "more" than just The Streak? A character, and more importantly, a man who deserves a better send off as well? Even if we were to say that he is too banged up to go on his own anymore, there are ways to work around this. One would think an Undertaker after a broken streak would be a dangerous Undertaker. His level of respect with both the fans and boys in the back is high enough for him to go on a rampage through the roster without taking any bumps, or light ones if need be. Culminating with a worthy send off at the event in which The Undertaker was born, Survivor Series.
With Kane dropping the corporate gimmick and returning to the mask, included with the recent Attitude Era resurgence, even a Brothers Of Destruction reunion could help Taker get to again, Survivor Series. Personally, would start this reunion/farewell tour off with The Brothers Of Destruction double choke slamming Brock Lesner through the ring. Either that, or the imploding ring gimmick, which occurred when Brock superplexed Big Show back in the day. Would Kane also not make sense to be the one to send Undertaker off? Lesner may have been most worthy to end The Streak, then perhaps his "brother" is most worthy to turn and send him off in style. Buried Alive. Lightening and smoke effects. Black light. Classic Undertaker stuff.
Or this was it. The Undertaker's career ended with The Streak. With the shock of Brock Lesner conquering The Streak, the crowd response at Wrestlemania 30 wasn't at the level it could, and should have been. Something which again could be corrected with at least something similar to what was mentioned above, or anything really. It would be nice to see, but am okay being content anticipating the obvious WWE Hall Of Fame induction, but hearing Mark Calloway's speech could be epic. Simple but has impact in his words. Typical Undertaker.
