Where does Cena go from here?

[Rock Bottom]

I did all my celebrating weeks before the match by posting random dog shit in the main thread. I am more surprised at how many people did not see it coming than anything else.

A lot of people consider it "smart business" to give Cena the win at Wrestlemania without considering a few things, like what that would do to Cena's character, the fact that The Rock is 10x the star that John Cena is, and the fact that The Rock is not a full-time wrestler.

In contrast to the actual topic, I would like someone to explain to me why it would have been "good business" to job Rock out to Cena last night, and what it could possibly do for the WWE. Cena's fresh again with a big push by beating The Rock. Great! What's next?

Maybe he can take the title from CM Punk, who already beat him last year and is having a great run! Wait, that makes no sense.

Maybe he can go beat The Miz! Oh wait, no one would care.

Alberto Del R- Hmm, no?

Maybe we'll bring The Rock back next year to feud with someone else, like CM Punk? Oh, wait, Rock's already lost to John Cena. Hmmm!

What else is there, really? I'm certainly not against drawing this feud out longer, if they can pull it off. It will be very dangerous to try to build this match again, especially for another year. If it can be done without boring the fuck out of people, and The Rock only popping in when he can make time, as well as John Cena actually even making any more impact in the wrestling business, by all means - give John Cena the victory.

As much as this might scare some people? You might keep an eye out for the Rock actually becoming the WWE champion, and returning to a day where the biggest stars only wrestle a few times a year. I don't really think this will happen very soon, but it might down the road.

Let's think of it this way.

You're Vince McMahon. A mega star from the attitude era, who is now a movie star and only getting more famous comes back to the WWE to do some programs. Are you really thinking of who you're going to job him out to, and putting over John Cena? Or are you thinking of how you could possibly benefit the most from this mega star?
