Just so future me can remember what I was thinking now, I expect both these guys to last till WrestleMania. It’d probably be too deflating for both to lose, and since they’re priming Orton for a run on SmackDown, Cena’s going to be the one to slip past Savage and get into 8th place. There doesn’t seem to be a chance for Backlund to be caught.
