More than Bruno's two title reigns combined.

Between Backlash and Summerslam, methinks.

untill mania when Shawn takes it off him then hands it to JBL the next night on RAW I would absolutely mark out for this. It would be such an amazing heel move for JBL. It would make him even more hated than he is now.

Hopefully 2017 I'd mark if Cena's title reign lasted the entire Obama Adminstration. Unleash the Bruno-Meter. Not to get political, but I don't see that administration lasting past 2013. And it'll be when the merchandise sales drop. Either/or. Both of Bruno's title reigns lasted through 3 Presidencies. He was the only Champion to make it through 3 Presidents. Only a select few have seen 2 US Presidents through their title reign. Sammartino's 1st (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon) Sammartino's 2nd (Nixon, Ford, Carter) Backlund's 1st (Carter, Reagan) Savage's 1st (Regan, Bush 41) Bret's 1st (Bush 41, Clinton) Angle's 1st (Clinton, Bush 43) We will almost assuredly add Jeff Hardy to the list shortly. That means oddly enough that every time we change Presidents since Carter to Reagan the WWE Champion was in his first reign. Now THATS a trivia question.

Hopefully long enough for the fans to start turning on him again, so the announcers can awkwardly try to cover half the crowd booing him by saying he's controversial.

If Cena even makes it to Mania with the belt, he won't leave the show with it.

The Wikipedia (yeah, I know...) definition: "A controversy or dispute is a commencement of a conflict between statements of accepted fact and a new or unaccepted proposal that disagrees with, argues against, or debates the accepted knowledge or opinion."So yeah, Cena's controversial. He isn't necessarily "edgy", though. There's a difference.

I could honestly see him holding it until Summerslam if not longer.

Well lets revisit the WHC history of the past few months starting with Punk:
Punk - 79 Days, drops it to... Jericho - 49 Days and loses it to... Batista - 8 Days (heh) and gets it reclaimed by... Jericho - 20 Days before having it stolen by... Cena - 31 and counting
My best guess is for Cena, much like 8-day-Batista before him (faces who both don't need a belt to be over) will give it up to ultimately push another uber heel/rising face that needs the WHC as some cred. CM Punk had it for a long time, during which he 'proved' he was the man by defending it on a regular basis. Jericho proved he was top heel by winning it back from Batista at the earliest opportunity. Cena's not really proving anything with the WHC belt, and it should go where it can do the most good (something that could be useful for the JBL/HBK storyline, I'd say).
Seriously, Cena having the belt only makes for cheap controversy and easy-way-out WM title bouts. I'm pulling for more creativity in the booking, especially with Bats outta action for a bit.

I don't really mind or care.
As long as he has it, it means if I ever suffer from insomnia, I'll just tune in to RAW and be out within seconds.

Probably a couple of months. I'd have to know who he'll face to form an opinion.
How weird would it be if he lost at Rumble? Virtually no one would expect that, since it'd be very... WCW booking.

The question should be, "How long can the WHC hold Cena?"
