No shit Sherlock. It's 2012 where the match is worth so much more. You have a legit Hollywood actor against one of the biggest MMA draws of all time and they'd be meeting inside a wrestling ring in the company that build them both. It builds itself.
No one on this fucking earth other than utter morons would want to see Cena/Rock for a second time after the shit we saw at WM28. "Once in a Lifetime" my fucking ass. It should stay that way.
Big MMA draws? The dude came into Extreme Rules in a hyped match and flopped with the biggest star in the company. He got his ass kicked in the end. Some "MMA" star when Cena owns him on a step of stairs.
He then came into Summerslam, the biggest event of the year and owned Triple H, yet no one bought it. Why, I thought Triple H was a huge star too?

You are on crack, it's Cena .vs. The Rock 2.
it really is still real to you isn't it.
You realise BOTH guys in your sig AREN'T real, right?
CM Punk got injured at a bad time, and a TLC Match is a lot to ask after injury and surgery. We don't know what his real condition is but, what if next week The Rock cost CM Punk his longest reign in the last 25 years by interfering in his match with Ryback.
This would let Punk sit out for sometime, give Ryback his first title and prolong the Rock vs Punk match until Punk is in better health.
Ryback would then go on to face and beat the Rock at Royal Rumble, putting him over majorly, and then The Rock would win the Elimination Chamber, that he's already scheduled to appear at.
Punk and Rock would then be able to have a singles match at Wrestlemania.
----------------------------
I think this of course with WWE's plan, but IMO a suitable replacement. My speculation is plans that Ryback or Cena is scheduled to win The Rumble. Cena would face the WWE Champ at Mania, while Ryback would face the world champ.
I believe WWE's ultimate plan is to put Rock vs Cena vs Punk for the WWE Championship at Mania. With Punk losing at Rumble but someone forcing himself into Rock vs Cena II making it a Triple Threat, probably by a rematch clause.
Soooo hyped for Rock's return next week! I am anxiously anticipating WWE programming again (including Smackdown!) for the first time since Raw 1000 I would say. Actually, make that since Extreme Rules. The Great One is back to electrify once again! Should be interesting to see how they transition from Punk vs. Ryback (vs. The Shield) to Punk vs. The Rock. I believe a couple people predict Rock making the save after a Shield attack during/after the TLC Match and that would be awesome.
It could go either way whether they want Rock to give Punk the Rock Bottom on the first night or build it up a bit for the first week. Just as long as the physicality isn't only saved for the PPV I'm fine with Punk sneaking away for the first show or two. I agree with RockAE316 that it isn't an "iconic" type big Mania match so Rock & Punk coming to blows on Raw and/or Smackdowns is fine. I'd rather it be that way along with some compelling promo work from both men and Heyman. This feud totally has the potentially to own.

Will be good to see The Rock back on next weeks RAW. I'm not exactly a big fan, but his presence and star power on the show is a great thing. I'm also really looking forward to this Punk/Rock feud. It would also be cool to see some Rock/Ryback interaction, and it could happen if The Rock gets involved in Punk vs Ryback match, maybe in the way Clique described with him making the save after The Shield attack Ryback.
