one thing I do know is that Cena isn’t turning babyface right after Mania regardless if he wins or not. No way in hell they’re turning him heel for one month and one match
What Chris said they’re probably gonna take two months to turn him back but it’s been done a couple of times where very prominent baby faces turn heel for only one match and then just immediately pretended like they will never heel afterwards most famously Shawn Michaels in 2005.

If Cena does win the title he better be heel until like the last day before he retires and have a long run
That’s the way I book it. I think in his last match he loses. Then he shakes Cody’s hand. Rock gets in his face and tells him to stop being a bitch and Cena hits him with an AA and retires a face.

Then Rock is like ok fuck this I gotta do it myself and it sets up Rock/Cody

That's just a bonus that works bc he's never won it before, the thing I'm most set on is he needs to break the record after being redeemed and not succeed after turning evil to show that you can do that to break records if you really need to at the end before you're done lmao

Yeah, I’m fine with this. Summer slam is their second biggest show of the year which should be a good enough show to have Cena win his 17th title. And you get that five months of build between mania and Summer slam to do everything else we need to do.
that's fine with me as I would get to see Cena win the Worlds Championship live

My fantasy booking since the turn has been

Rock helps Cena win by stacking the odds in his favor. Because if Cena sells out and still loses...then what? If you turn him back it kinda ruins it to me. He can then feud with faces over the title for a but. Do this thing. Cody eventually gets a rematch after clawing his way back. Wins the title back. Even with Rock out there trying to fuck on him. As Cody is walking to the back. Rock attacks Cena, Cody sees it on the screen....Cody runs back down, saves Cena. They shake hands and Cena is back good.

I think a good story is showing that selling out doesn't actually work personally lol
