Also, I can just imagine HHH in the back and then once Cena mentions "brother", HHH just spitting water out in shock and just snapping, hence his arrival. ;D

They've been waiting for the one relevant reference all this time from WWE, and Cena of all people, did it during a big time main event angle is when it happened. The re-writes are happening in Orlando as we speak.
This one mention probably fuels their KO, X division, Main event, and Tag storylines for the next year.

Heh, I kinda marked a little. I think that's the first onscreen mention of TNA ever. I know it's silly, but it took me back to the Monday Night War days for about....half a second. Kaval from NXT sez hai.

In an odd, roundabout way, this is a smart thing for WWE to do.
We always talk about "new boom periods", wondering what can bring them around, but it's hard to have a "boom" if only one company has a stake in anything that's happening. When the industry as a whole is raised up to some level, everybody benefits.
Who knows? Maybe him saying that sets a buzz about TNA on Twitter, there's more general talk about wrestling on the whole, and more casual fans become interested in both shows' ongoings.
Granted, neither company could afford to blow it by putting on bad shows, but raising general awareness of the industry as a whole, again, helps everybody.

It was a cool little reference. I didn't think they'd actually do it. And judging from the sound of the audience when he said it I think more people are aware of TNA than WWE realizes.

That or the reaction was something like, "Ooo! Hogan! The comment didn't make sense but hey, Hogan!" Still, I'm inclined toward the TNA thing. Basically every casual fan I know is aware of TNA, they just don't see it as worth their time.

I bet Hulk Hogan saw the Cena reference and had a reaction similar to Jim Carrey's character in Dumb & Dumber. "So you're saying there's a chance..." Dixie: WE LANDED ON THE MOON!

Somewhere in all this there needed to be some sort of Wade Barrett cameo so he could say "DO IT OR YOU'RE FIRED CENER!" once

Giving TNA any kind of WWE acknowledgement helps them, and the business in general.
