JOHN CENA vs. RANDY ORTON

Isenberg: I have been going back and forth on this match for multiple reasons. I can easily see John Cena winning and Randy Orton waiting to cash in his rematch until WrestleMania. That would put together a Triple Threat or somehow a Fatal Four Way with two other guys (one being the Rumble winner.) I can also see Randy Orton stealing this victory. Over the past 10 years, the WWE Championship has only changed hands three times. One of those being with John Cena, which makes me think WWE could give him the title here. As I literally go back and forth as I am typing this, I am going to pick a cheap victory for Randy Orton. It could be a disqualification or something controversial, which allows John Cena to somehow remain in the championship picture. It seems too easy for Orton to be upset about facing Cena and end up losing. WINNER: RANDY ORTON
Killam: It kind of seems like Orton is the obvious winner going into this title match, which kind of makes me wonder if they won't give Cena the title just to shake things up. See, everyone expects it to be Batista vs. Orton at WrestleMania. What about Batista vs. Cena? Bryan vs. Cena? A Cena vs. Lesnar rematch? Things are probably more up in the air than rumors lately would indicate. There's a lot of choices, and none of them are too bad. I wouldn't mind seeing any of the options I just listed. There's also the possible option that whoever leaves the Rumble with the title drops it in the Elimination Chamber, opening up a whole different window of opportunities. But back to reality… I hate to agree with Josh yet again, but I think Orton retaining is the safe pick. WINNER: RANDY ORTON
