Much has been made this week about the possible outcome of the upcoming Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena WWE world heavyweight championship rematch at Night of Champions.
While only the powers that be at WWE know the finish, what shouldn't be up for debate is what the beginning of this match will look like. WWE has us all guessing as to who will prevail. The way this match starts is vital to retaining that mystery until the final bell rings.
In their last two bouts, Cena has come charging at Lesnar like a bull only to end up slaughtered like a calf. In order to create the illusion that this contest may have an alternate ending (and to give the impression that Cena has gained new perspective within 30 days) this match needs to start differently from their previous encounters. Let Lesnar be the aggressor while Cena pedals around the ring like his name was Armstrong.
Cena's approach should be less rope-a-dope and more floating like a bee. Let Lesnar get gassed. While Cena is no Dean Malenko or Daniel Bryan, he should attempt to wrestle the Beast as opposed to throwing mitts. As Lesnar wears down, then Cena can unleash the heavy artillery, such as the Cen-ista bomb (amazing how he does Batista's finish better than Batista), and let the match flow from there.
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, WWE would be crazy to let the start of this match resemble the previous two meetings.
