From WrestleNewz.com
Local advertising for next month’s WWE No Way Out pay-per-view in East Rutherford, New Jersey says that John Laurinaitis will be in the corner of Big Show as he takes on John Cena in the main event. The stipulation with Laurinaitis will likely be announced this week.
Why does WWE keep sticking Cena in the main event? If WWE wants Sheamus to be the next big deal have him in the main event.

Honestly, as frustrated as I am with a World Title not closing the show this year. What else could they end the show with? Del Rio and Sheamus? That sounds like an awful way to end the show, Punk and Bryan could work but it probably wouldn't be the best option either. If Cena and Big Show are in a cage, it'll be a big spectacle. I don't know, it doesn't really bother me. It's the biggest angle in the company right now.

Icarus, you are right about the other matches, but to me, Cena and Show with Laurinaitis is just another quick thrown together main event. Cena vs Lesnar was quickly thrown together, so was Cena vs Laurinaitis. It seems like who ever attacks Cena gets to main event with him. They'll probably have Michael Cole do it eventually!

Another PPV where the major titles are nowhere near the main event, what a shocker.

Who really cares about Big Show.. Ever. I mean, yay! He's in a role where he'll be used monsterous. But that will very quickly come to an end when Cena squashes him like a bug.

Love to see Punk get some respect. Even as WWE Champion he's in Cena's shadow.

you know your world titles are worthless when they're opening the show, or in the 1st hour...

I would rather either World Title match go last.
They both should be a lot better than Cena/Show for me at least..

Anvil, most of them seem to buy to make their kids happy or to boo the man, not because they want to see him main event again and again and again.
Also willbuh, you have perhaps the greatest sig on the WFigs Forums!

Titles in the WWE don't mean anything anymore, they are props. Cena is above needing a title, and he is the companies biggest draw, which is why he is "always" maineventing.

Boo hoo the main story of the flagship show is headlining a ppv? Oh the horror.

The problem with a match like this main eventing (if it in fact does) is that it means absolutely nothing.
I'm perfectly fine with the title matches not main eventing if the match they choose has some legitimate meaning behind it.
For example, even at Over the Limit, Cena/Laurinaitis had a "big match" stipulation - if Johnny lost, he was fired.
The one big exception, for me, was Elimination Chamber. Cena/Kane had no reason to main event a Pay-Per-View, let alone one that was built entirely around Elimination Chamber matches.
The Royal Rumble is obvious, Wrestlemania was obvious, Extreme Rules too. Nothing on that card should have gone on over Cena/Brock.
But Cena/Show is far from an attraction. It has no business main eventing.

Also, Cena vs Kane was the biggest story in the WWE at the time, so it makes sense that the blowoff of that feud would occur last. As for Cena vs Show not meaning anything, and not warranting the mainevent spot on No Way Out that is far from the truth. This is the followup to the last PPV's mainevent, and also the biggest story in the WWE.

As for Cena vs Show not meaning anything, and not warranting the mainevent spot on No Way Out that is far from the truth. This is the followup to the last PPV's mainevent, and also the biggest story in the WWE. To each his own, but I completely disagree. It was unnecessary for Cena to main event the final Pay-Per-View heading into Wrestlemania. Just because you're involved in one of the biggest matches of all time at one show, doesn't automatically mean you're also the most important player in every other show. Cena and Kane's rivalry was flat, and it was made completely clear that they were just buying time until The Rock showed up. The crowd picked up on it, and they weren't buying into it. Both Elimination Chamber matches had significant implications on the Wrestlemania title matches. It was obvious that Cena/Rock was going to main event Wrestlemania at that point (and rightfully so), Elimination Chamber should have been the opportunity to put the Championships at the forefront and start the journey to Wrestlemania. The only way I could possibly agree with Cena/Kane main eventing that show is if The Rock had been there, and got involved with Cena after the match was over. As for Show/Cena, I stand by my statement that it means absolutely nothing. Big Show screwed Cena, Cena is angry, the end. That, to me, doesn't qualify as a main event. It's a grudge match, fine. It has every right to be on the card, but without some major stipulation with huge implications, I don't think it has any business being the main event. No matter who wins, the WWE will be exactly the same on Monday night. Barring some major return, interference, or debut, there's no way to end that match and send people home really thinking "oh man, I can't wait to see what happens on Raw tomorrow night". I'm not saying that that's guaranteed to happen with a title match, either, and it's fine if not every show has one of those moments or one of those matches. In those cases, I think a title match should go on last. The crowd at Over the Limit proved that WWE fans are evolving and truly appreciating great wrestling. If we get the Punk/Bryan rematch that it appears we may, I think that is the best choice to main event the show.
