100% this. For a myriad of reasons. Have the purple Experian cow challenge Reigns instead.

A billion million times no. Suffered through enough Cena title reigns keep him well away from any title.

Put me in the camp of Cena getting reign #17 and calling it a career.

Why, though?
Cena is one of the few guys with any kind of credibility with or without the belt
He is part time at best, too many of the champions in the world title lineages have been
He doesn't need any more reigns
If you are going to break the Flair record, Cena definitely doesn't need it and it is super worthless if he breaks the record then disappears for months or years or forever

Don’t like part timers winning belts, BUT in Cena’s case, tv would be a lot more interesting if he does win it.

Absolutely not. Cena/Rock/Brock should not be the ones to end this Roman run. I'd be down for him winning the WWE title at some point though to get his 17th. At this point I'd rather Cena have that honor in WWE's eyes rather than sharing it with Flair. I don't disagree, just that this being the problem and this being their inadequate approach to remedying it has been going on for two decades now I don’t disagree either lol. But Cena hasn’t been a main player for like 5 years. The way they've booked him in the 4-5 years since he went part-time is super weird. Roman kicked out of like 5 of his finishers and beat him with a single spear. He returned for a Survivor Series main event and was eliminated like it was nothing. Lost clean to Seth Rollins in a gauntlet match after Rollins had already wrestled Roman for 20 minutes. Undertaker squashed him at Wrestlemania. Random clean losses on TV to the likes of Nakamura/Strowman/Balor with no build up. Made to look like a fool by The Fiend at Wrestlemania last year. They don't book him as strong as their other part-timers like Lesnar, Taker, HHH, Goldberg or even Edge now which is weird because he's a bigger star than all of them. In kayfabe I don't know why he would even get a title shot against Roman when he hasn't won a big match in years. WWE seemingly has two ways of booking part-timers. The Mick Foley/Chris Jericho "lose every match that matters to the point that no one ever expects you to win a big match when you return now" ones and then the Lesnar/Goldberg "come in and squash your world champ in seconds and make the rest of the roster look terrible" ones. Ideally there'd be more of a middle ground between those extremes. For example Lesnar beating Kofi for the title and Cena putting over Nakamura could both have been good decisions with little tweaks (have Kofi put up a great 10-15 minute fight against Brock, have Nakamura beat Cena in a big Summerslam match instead of on TV as fodder for Jinder Mahal).

If it were any other reign than the record-breaking 17th one, I’d be fine either way. But it wouldn’t sit right with me for such a significant reign in wrestling history to merely be a handful of weeks to transition it to someone else. They only have one shot at telling THIS story if they ever go with it.

I wouldn't be upset at him winning, but it wouldn't really accomplish anything, either.

Oh Jeebus Lawd no. With all due respect to Cena, that ship has sailed. I've got no issue with WWE doing Reigns vs Cena at Summerslam or whatnot, but Cena doesn't need to win the belt. It's better if WWE built someone up (like Big E for example) to dethrone Roman. Let someone else get that rub.

Normally, I'd be fine with giving Cena a short run with the title... but no.
Roman's reign has to be ended by someone their building the future on.

Over Roman? No. Over Lashley? Yes. Then do Cena v. Big E
