If Miz retains I guess this will all make sense somehow

More likely, I think both Miz and Cena will end up on the wrong end of a Rock finisher. Then I think Miz will squeak out with a win and the Cena/Rock rumors will carry strong into Summerslam or Wrestlemania in Miami next year. Even if an actual match is unlikely, why not keep the seed there? There's also the chance of a pre-emptive strike by Cena on Rock. That would be a heel turn, for the most part, though. So I don't see that happening unless Rock is going to hang around for the Summer. I'm more than happy with the possibilities and dynamics of this match, and I think all 3 will make for a really entertaining match. I'm not too concerned with who wins. Obviously, I think The Miz could use it more, though. It'd be nice to see him get out of there with the strap. I actually love the idea of the dastardly and heelish Miz escaping with his title, looking back on what Cena is doing to Rock, or vice versa, and he himself being shocked by the level of heeldom on display.

These are the posts I most agree with. While WrestleMania is the place for faces to beat heels, what does Cena beating The Miz really prove? Does anyone really see The Miz as being above John Cena at this point? The Miz retaining the WWE Title gives him a great heel moment, and doesn't really hurt Cena. As Triple H has said, Cena is almost at the point where he doesn't need a top title to be seen as a massive star. And I'd say he's already there.

The Rock and Cena could very easily have a moment of respect, but I think that's the coward's way out. As long as Cena and The Rock hate each other, people are going to be on edge for a Rock/Cena match -- regardless of its likelihood. With WrestleMania in Miami, and The Undertaker likely being 19-0, I can very easily see the main event of that show being The Undertaker vs. John Cena with The Rock as Special Guest Referee.

So yeah, Cena could win, and have that one imperfect blip on his WrestleMania record from WrestleMania XXIV, or he could streamroll over Miz, who will recover, and things are just the same. Personally, if I were booking, I'd go with The Rock hitting Cena with a Rock Bottom, The Miz capitalising to retain, and Cena wanting a match with The Rock -- which is eventually forgotten, until The Rock's schedule allows him to return and continue to antagonise Cena.
