Can I say with doing a Cena-Rock, that doesn't make me want Mania like I did last year, I can't see Cena losing this match, the thing I would do to throw people would be have Cena finally go heel.
I don't believe in this WWE like the one ten plus years ago (go figure, i originated "board better two years ago"). There is still just too much money to be made off of Cena as a face with kids. I would be very risky from a business standpoint to turn him heel. With that said...
from a storyline perspective it would be a great move. Cena and Rock both head into WM as faces and while not a fan of triple threat matches, maybe Punk is in the match as well because Taker is not healthy for Mania. Triple Threat, No DQ match. Close match throughout. The Shield comes out at some point, throws a quick punch on Cena and throws him out of the ring. Hurts referee and throws him out. Starts brutally attacking the Rock, Punk nods in approval. Punk points to bring ref in for count. Shield obliges. He goes for the cover on Rock, but gets blocked by a Shield member. Punk and Shield argue a bit. Cena waiting behind him. AA on Punk. Rock is up, starts his own 'hulking up' and battling Shield members. Cena now directing traffic, asking for Rollins to get a chair. Cena and Rock tangle. Rollins chair shot. Cena pin. Rock kicks out at 2.9 (also ever notice how Cena is horrible at kicking out on a late 2?). Punk comes in and now Punk and Rock start working together. Eventually numbers game beginning to wear out Rock and Punk. Cena continues directing traffic, dirty moves, chair shots. Rock is laid out. All shield members are laid out. Punk and Cena remain in ring. Back and forth. Some type of Hogan-Warrior clothesline happens on each other. Heyman runs into the ring to check on Punk. As he is talking to Punk, he slides brass knuckles to Cena. Heyman gets Punk back up, goes to get the referee up and moving, Cena nails Punk with brass knucks, gets three count. Cena, Shield and Heyman end up celebrating together.
Raw would reveal Cena and Heyman were behind the Shield the whole time. Heyman approached Cena not too much after Cena defeated Brock as Heyman realized Brock wasn't what he once was. While Heyman liked and respected Punk as a wrestler, Cena is the ultimatem meal ticket. He explains almost every reason why he had the Shield attack certain people. It all starts to make sense. He disliked Ryback and his quick rise. He thought keeping the belt on Punk was the way to go. We find out he didn't want to face the Rock at Mania again which is why he had The Shield attack Rock at the Rumble. That plan failed obviously. Yada, yada. I think it could make for some good viewing...
