Rock winning the belt at Wrestlemania and dropping it the next day or at Backlash is not going to help anyone.

Rock winning the belt and dropping it at Wrestlemania actually puts that guy over. I know it's upsetting to you that guy's name is John Cena and not CM Punk but we all know who the true face of the WWE is.

It's like others have pointed out with the championship design. Rock figuratively trashing Cena's belt is something they can do.

Cena is the guy that has to make this work I mean The Rock can do something like that but if it doesn't get Cena to not come out like this then it doesn't matter. That is what ruined the feud they had last year. At least while they are stretching it a little bit Rock/Punk has some intensely.

Except the obsession with John Cena that Vince/Stephanie/Cripple H has is gonna end with Cena winning at Mania. If the Rock wins at WM 29 and gets the WWE title, I'll look up my favorite porn star, find her location, bed her, and record it for proof.

Cena beating The Rock at Wrestlemania doesn't even make sense to me from a business point of view, the buyrate WILL fall, even with The Rock there. Last year, the return of old Rock fans who had given up watching wrestling and casuals influenced the buyrate, no doubt. They got the chance to see their hero on the greatest stage of all again, with the slim chance that he would win. This time, if it is Cena v Rock 2, there is little chance those same casual fans are gonna buy Mania again when they know, 100% this time that Cena will win it, this is all IMO, of course.

While I don't think that is all false I think their are enough casual fans that are into Rock/Cena just for the name value as well as Wrestlemania. I don't think they will match last year numbers but I don't think they are going to be that far off maybe just under a million buys.

All roads lead to Rock as champion.

150,000% truth

there are only 2 certainties we know of

- Rock will be a champion sometime during this run
- Rock will not be the champion post-Wrestlemania

everything else that people are speculating about.. all these "CM Punk retains but Rock is a surprise rumble entrant" or worse "Rock will be in the main event but lose" etc etc

PERISH THE THOUGHT

y'all writing fan fiction folks.. The Rock will remind everyone what a REAL Champion looks like when he wins the WWE Championship

CM Punk should get down on his knees and thank the great one because finally, he's in a program that is not overshadowed by Cena

you get in a program with The Rock and all eyes and attention on you cm punk!

thank the brahma bull

You tell me what's a better way to regain the title? A victory over the Rock at Wrestlemania? A victory over Miz and Punk at Backlash?

John Cena is the face the company. Just accept it. He's the guy who should be getting the biggest moments.

[CHIcagoMade]

I don't think i stomach the idea of Cena going over Rock.

Just thinking about it makes me want to... oh god
