Its different now though.
When he lost those other times he wasn't in the top position. Even going into Mania, he wasn't really positioned as the top guy. I didn't see them really run with him all the way until after Mania and especially since the match at Judgment Day.
Being the WWE/World Champ puts you in a different place, and you have to be real careful if and when you lose a match. I can see some logic in having him lose the title in some screwy fashion (like say how Austin did in 98, which ultimately was just done so he could chase into Mania). But I feel its way too early for that, and Jericho or Christian are not the guys to do that with.
Plus, and Ive said this a bunch of times, but they've got that spinner belt that they just brought out. Even if they did want to get the title off Cena, wouldn't you at least wait until they put that out on sale before having him drop. So at least that way you make as much money off it as possible.
I know this is a small thing, but its related to the last point; Cena's latest shirt is based on him being the champion. Again, unless Cena does something wrong (like Eddie did last year) why would have him drop?
The point is people are really behind Cena right now, and his popularity seems to be growing. I heard a signing he did here in Toronto drew like 1200 people, who else on the roster are doing those numbers? I just dont think there's any logic behind taking the title from him right now. People are still getting behind it, why do anything to jeopardize that?
