His last WWE Title reign ended in part because Eddie buckled and said he didn't want the responsibility. Or something like that. He didn't want to be World Champion again, anyway. As a heel things may be different, thoug.
Personally, I would not build the promotion around Cena. You can't argue about his popularity now, but I swear the guy is like a house of cards. He WILL come crashing down, it is onl a matter of when. Until they start having Cena wrestle real matches, he's just a gimmick.
Chris Jericho is the guy on RAW I'd choose. He has the charisma, the attitude, the background, etc. If you put him over Cena at Summerslam, he'd pretty much be accepted as top guy. He'd be a two-time WWE Champion, a two-time WCW Champion, a seven-time IC Champion, multiple time WCW & ECW Television Champion, two-time World Tag Team Champion (I think), one or two-time Hardcore Champion, four-time (according to WWE.com, I think) Cruiserweight Champion. The guy's done it all, and could be easily made believeable. Have him beat Hogan cleanly the RAW after winning the belt and you have yourself a megastar.
Jericho can then have matches with Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, Carlito, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Matt Hardy, Rob Conway, Nick Dinsmore, RVD and anyone else you want to put in front of him.
On SmackDown!, I'd probably pick Batista. Yes, I know the guy's old, but I think he is the most markettable Champion in the WWE right now. Have him completely obliterate JBL at Summerslam, then have him beat Randy Orton and Eddie Guerrero in respective feuds. Have him lead a team successfully at Survivor Series, and maybe slap him in a pairing with Paul Heyman or Jim Cornette (signing him back). Give him a mouthpiece and as a face or a heel he is right to go. Have him defend the title past WrestleMania, and keep him strong. I GUARANTEE he would bring money.
