Cena/Barrett would have been great for WM27. Even with only being on the roster for a year, he was a hot enough heel to make it work. Cena forcing himself to help Barrett win the strap from Orton at Survivor Series and then letting Barrett have a nice reign with the belt until Cena got his revenge and title back from Barrett at WM would have been perfect. The thing is, they may have feared that Rock would overshadow anyone (including Barrett) that Cena was feuding with and they might not have wanted to mix both angles together (Cena getting his revenge on Barrett and also planting the seeds for his match with The Rock) but IMO, it could have worked. Barrett could have talked about how Rock was old news and how he and the Nexus were the future, Rock could have cut promos putting down all the Nexus members, Barrett could have had The Rock attacked and laid out, etc.
At Wrestlemania, Cena wins his championships back, Barrett gets the Rock Bottom (Rock's revenge for the Nexus laying a beat down on him), and then after Rock lets Cena have his moment with the belt after seemingly congratulating him for his title victory, Rock surprises everyone by hitting him with the Rock Bottom as well.
