There really isn't a face or heel in this storyline (so far). Both guy's have their fans and their catering to them specifically. Punk the IWC, Cena the kids. Fortunately it's working and all fans are eating it up, Punk's shirts are selling out like hotcakes, and Punk/Cena has one hell of a promo tonight.

Face - Face feuds are welcomed by me as long as they are entertaining, and this one definitely is, even if it feels like HHH is constantly trying to pop my balloon of marking out during every promo showdown. Yeah, his mocking Punk for not having a movie, when Punk was talking about wrestling being his number one passion was totally missing the point.

I said on Twitter that Punk burned Triple H worse than Harvey Dent in the Dark Knight. He did that twice tonight.

This is perfect 'shades of grey' booking. Shame HHHuge Ego is ruining it in places.

That's the thing: the beauty of this feud is that neither man is really the clearly defined face OR the heel. Punk has a lot of valid points, as does Cena. The WWE for once is letting its audiences decide who to cheer or boo instead of shoving "THIS IS THE FACE, THIS IS THE HEEL" down people's throats. I look at wrestling as more of a standard form of entertainment than some sort of sporting even so I prefer that they do that. For me without a clearly declared hero and villain feels like a lazy or at least an incomplete story.

I think Miz is gonna stick his nose in this eventually by the way he's been talking lately. At this point he's pretty much the #1 heel on Raw, so barring a turn this Sunday it's inevitable.

Maybe it's just me, but I love face vs. face feuds.
With face vs. heel it's always made clear that there's a "right" side and a "wrong" side, but with face vs. face it's comes down to fan choice and can often lead to one side breaking under the pressure. It feels more like anarchy.

Im hoping Cena sides with HHH, and fully acknowledges his place as "the establishment".

Would Cena and HHH aligning to screw Punk (OMG I'm so writing that fanfic) be the only real way for John Cena to get any true heel heat? Not saying CENAZ DA BEST AS HEEL, just asking hypothetically.
