Cena. Hands down. Like him or not, he IS the new Rock. The fans love him and he does have good mic skills. Might not be much in the ring (like an Angle or Benoit), but neither was the Rock. You could even flip-flop his character from face to heel and back again and the crowd will be there. He even has the "crowd pop" move like the Rock (the Five Knuckle Shuffle).

As much as I would love to see guys like Orton, Carlito (the new Honky Tonk), or even Jericho have the top spot for awhile... you have to give it to Cena. Get used to him, he'll be around for quite sometime.

I, for one, couldn't stand his character on SD! but now that he has the top spot on Raw... he's growing on me. I hate to compare so much, but I had the same reaction to the Rock at first.
