The fan base now doesn't inspire than same confidence. Times have changed and you'd be depending on bringing in a new crowd to offset the little Cena lovers snatching up merchandise.
Good points.

Only thing ill say is,

1) Cena's current target demographic wont stay children forever, and can perhaps embrace the "badass" Cena as they evolve themselves.

2) If Ryback is pushed right, perhaps he can appeal to Cena's current market in the exact same way.
