I don't see any of these three situations occurring but I think Lesnar retiring HHH has the biggest chance of happening.

They're going to pull the trigger on it eventually. At it's core, WWE is pro wrestling and their top babyface has been getting booed louder and louder as every year goes by. They will turn the guy heel. I think it stands a better chance of happening on Sunday than it has in a long, long time. Until they have someone who is even remotely close to taking over as the number one babyface/draw -- I can't see that happening. Cena still draws in tons of kids and their parents, and he still sells more merch than anyone by a wide margin. Is there any evidence to back this oft-cited fact that Cena sells way more merch than anyone, and draws in tons of kids and parents? It's such an accepted statement that I've never seen verified in any way. I only follow TV viewership in terms of business stuff, and all that indicates is that people are tuning out heading into Mania, again. There's probably concrete merch numbers I'm not privy to. I do agree that they don't have a top babyface ready, but the current one gets booed consistently and loudly. And they have a heel that consistently gets cheered, loudly. Maybe, if they can find a creative scenario to pull-off a double turn, Punk could be the top face for a bit, this time not being watered down joke-crackin' cool kid Punk. Fans obviously love him even when he's doing his "worst person on the planet" schtick, just run with that and let him do terrible things to heels instead, starting with guys that the crowd really doesn't like, ie Fandango and Jack Swagger. In the meantime, push Daniel Bryan, Big E (if he doesn't suck, HUGE face potential), Ryback, and Sheamus and see who catches on most to go with once Punk leaves or what have you. All those guys can be pushed stronger as faces if Cena turns heel. Randy Orton and Chris Jericho are super-over as well, though for different reasons they can't really be counted on to be THE top face. I think at this point, having no face of the company is better than having one that so much of the audience rejects. They might not find the new sensation overnight, but Cena-fatigue has a stranglehold on the product. The WWE brand is very strong and they have a lot of talent fans respond to, I don't think Cena turning would hurt them a ton in the short-term and would be beneficial in the long run.

The post above made me realize just how much I want to see a face Jericho challenge a heel Cena for the title.

Punk, DB and Ziggler should be faces. People want to cheer them
Orton and Cena should be heels. Both are stale in their current roles.

I'm expecting Orton to have something to do with the Shield. Reasons to come after it happens, even if I was wrong.

Hector Guerrero has a better chance of streaking to the ring wearing nothing but the Gobbedly Gooker head than Cena turning heel or Taker losing to Punk.

Lesnar is going to win but I think there is more of a chance of Punk winning than Cena turning.
