Not even close to a fair comparison. Don't try and be a cool anti-IWC guy by pretending it is.

Cena has been booked as unbeatable and unstoppable for most of a decade. No matter how much punishment he takes, he never stays down for long.

Bryan was always booked as an underdog and barely scraping by.

Cena taking an almost uncomfortable beating is different and meaningful. I love Daniel Bryan, but if Brock Lesnar came out and beat the shit out of Bryan for 20 minutes, it would have felt like a Raw match and wouldn't have meant shit because forty other guys did it this year. Brock has insane momentum and buzz because he dismantled the one man that for the better part of a decade hasn't been put down cleanly, let alone absolutely demolished, by basically any one.
