WWE Wants John Cena in Nexus For Months, UFC Idea to Promote ‘Mania?

Often times, WWE angles originally intended to last for the long haul are cut short due to audibles on the creative team’s part. WWE does not always script a weekly vision into its long-term plans, and if angles start to lose a clear direction, they can lose heat to such an extent that moving to a quick conclusion is the most desirable outcome.

As of press time, that is not yet the case with the John Cena-Nexus angle. According to F4WOnline.com, WWE officials remain confident that the angle has enough legs to run through Royal Rumble, as was originally planned.

At that point, the angle would be concluded in a way that sets up a match for WrestleMania.

–Aware of how well UFC pay-per-views have been performing relative to television ratings, WWE is undoubtedly looking into how the mixed martial arts giant so successfully converts its television viewers into PPV buyers. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that WWE might develop shows similar in concept to UFC Primetime as hype machines for the main events of next year’s WrestleMania.
