I don't know why, but I'm starting to like Cena

I've said it a million times, but what needs to happen before Cena is depushed is another mega face emerging.
Someone coming along, like Cena did, who is the type of talent who can get the super push.
That way, WWE can de-push or change Cena's role. He can become a secondary character, like Michaels and Austin eventually did, or go to Smackdown, or...turn heel.
All 3 would help his character and the product, in ascending order, I think.

WWE kept Hogan at the top until he left. Granted, he was politicing to keep himself there more than Cena, as far as any of us know. But despite the brief pushes of Savage and Warrior as "the top guy", Hogan actually always had that job.
And then came Bret and Shawn. They grappled for it.
But WWE would have kept Austin on top forever if The Rock didn't come along. And The Rock would have stayed on the top of the mountain if he didn't leave. Same with Brock.
That's the WWE. I don't think they like to change the hierarchy so dramatically until they have to, or there is an obvious shift written on the wall.

But there definitely needs to be that guy who naturally comes along that people are ready to get behind as a face.
The problem is, the most promising new faces that have come along in the past few years are tailor made heels or monsters.
The "exciting and energetic hero" crop hasn't been very exciting or energetic. No offense to Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne.
