I think that even if Punk goes in babyface, it'd be like Rock/Hogan where the crowd would cheer the fuck out of Hogan just because of who he is and for him to win the title would mean he might actually be back and they would want that. Punk goes over, but he isn't the triumphant hero conquering the legend and riding his white horse up to Mount Olympus to sit on the right hand of Zeus and the wrestling gods.

I know he already has some of Cena's fans on his side too but I think those fans who hate Rock for beating their hero would lead to even more. As for the adult wrestling crowd, I think it could be pretty split. In the end, I have a feeling if they went in a WrestleMania right now, I'm not so sure Rock fans would dominate the crowd. They'd still be a lot of people who watch wrestling regularly and Punk wouldn't be that guy a lot of people are already voicing being sick of like Cena was against Rock and Rock was against Hogan. I think people would wanna see that new face emerge.
