I feel like something's "missing" with CM Punk right now...

I think Cena's gotta atleast put up a fight. Lesnar can still look like a monster but a) You can't keep destroying the guy all the little kids (' parents) pay to see time and time again. It would be like if Superman was defeated at the end every time. Eventually the kids don't wanna read the comic anymore. And b) You gotta atleast make an effort to show that the UFC guy isn't THAT much better than the pro wrestler. Lesnar just destroying Cena because he's the actual fighter kinda just says "UFC is more legit" when they're trying to give off an aura that that's not the case.

Cena winning would kinda be awesome storyline wise after the Edge speech and the idea being given that Cena is scared and Lesnar is the dick-head bully. Lesnar getting his comeuppance would be a feel good story. Just don't think it's gonna happen and probably won't be good long-term with that they're trying to do with Cena.

Cena showing tons of heart and actually competing with Lesnar and Lesnar giving a "What the fuck, how is this guy keeping up with me in a fight right now" look at some point and then ultimately someone interfering and Lesnar winning it doesn't bring Lesnar down. It only brings Cena up. If booked that way, you get the feeling Lesnar still probably would have won but someone still interfered. Maybe even a subtle Laurinaitis or Vince run-in.
