Who is this generations Rock?

Looking at the WWE's stock situation got me thinking about this. During the "attitude era", WWF had two major stars in Steve Austin and The Rock. When they saw how Austin was taking off, WWF put everything behind the man (giving him the belt, most of the air time, etc.). Rock was created, I my opinion, as other opponent for Austin, and then Rocks popularity skyrocketed, and WWF never looked back.

If we are to assume that John Cena is this generations Steve Austin (in that WWE is putting everything behind him), then who is the Rock? Who has WWE tried to build into that 2nd superstar that, if something happened to Cena, could pick up the ball and run with it? Is it Randy Orton? And if it is, would the current WWE audience continue watching Raw if Cena went down and Orton was officially the man?
