I can believe them turning him heel on Bryan if they feud around Wrestlemania or afterward, but you're being crazy if you don't think they won't play him up as an underdog overcoming the odds once again. And I'm a big fan of the guy,

The day Cena turns heel is also the day Benoit's ghost appears on WWE TV.

John Cena, corporate champion, does have a certain ring to it. The only problem is I don't think WWE see's Punk or Bryan as a legitimate alternative to Cena-wasn't there a report a couple weeks ago that Bryan got de-pushed because they felt ratings were down during his time challenging Orton? And to some extent there is the Total Divas problem-do you "split" the Bella's to facilitate a Cena heel turn, and if so how do you have Cena guest star on Total Divas with his girlfriend?

Given the creative direction over the last 10 years, Punk MIGHT be able to be a credible babyface. Stop gap, though, since he's better as the smart-ass anti-hero rather than the Cena/Hogan mold. Bryan has that ability but he's been submarined and doesn't "look right". That leaves either babyface Orton or somehow Triple H as the uberface.

I think they like Punk and see him as number 2 by most accounts to Cena's one so having them face off at Mania would be the biggest possible match they could do since Rock is gone and Brock is less than part time but they do blame Bryan for the falling PPV buys. As for Total Divas and the Bellas, they're teasing a Nikki heel turn right now with her getting upset with how Brie has handled their matches lately.

Total Divas isn't really an issue, on RAW they have yet to acknowledge that Nikki is dating Cena, probably intentionally. There would be no need for it to effect Total Divas, the show doesn't try to trick you into believing that wrestling is real.

If Cena turned heel at TLC, that would be the most anticlimatic heel turn ever. Sorry, but after being teased TEASED many times over with perfect opportunities to turn him, I'd rather not get it at a half assed PPV against a guy like Orton that I couldn't care less about. This is WWE, doing something that doesn't make a lot of sense or doing something at the most inopportune time is what the company in recent years has been all about!

WWE won't even pull the trigger on a Miz turn because they have to promote his movie, no way will they do a heel turn with their golden goose cash cow.

I'm honestly just expecting Sheamus as a last-minute addition to the match.

The day Cena turns heel is also the day Benoit's ghost appears on WWE TV. I actually made that back in 2008. I'll try and find the original video. The jist at the time was that WWE didn't want to go back to Kemper Arena, because there were rumors that Owen's ghost was haunting it. So I made a parody that ended up with WWE assembling a team of Ghostbusters to fix the problem, wherein Slimer Benoit made a cameo at the end.

Bryan doesn't "look right" because WWE insists on forcing the troll/goat face thing. Bryan is a pretty damn handsome dude with a fit body. His look is a whole lot better than Punk's.

You got more chance of Cena making sweet love with Michael Cole.
