I know.

I also realize that Batista/HHH is what most fans want to see. I was just speculating/dreaming. .


Speaking of Cena/Benoit, Cena was WAY more popular than Benoit last year IMO. Even now, Cena's popularity/fan reaction is greater than Benoit's by a good margain.


In my opinion, if Cena would have defected to RAW last year (as opposed to Benoit), then the WWE would have capitalized far more on Cena.

One reason why I think the RAW creative team bailed on Benoit, was because his fan reactions were still somewhat lukewarm after Backlash.

I DON"T think this would have happened with Cena.

Even if Triple H/Management were to try and "hold him back" by giving him less TV time, Cena's face pops would have still been far too great (which would basically FORCE the creative team into giving him more TV time).


Batista/HHH may be what the fans want to see (since that's the best offer being put on the table right now), but there's just no "unpredictability" left in the company anymore.
