This has been a long time coming for John Cena. For the last two years, his popularity with the WWE Universe is the most polarizing thing the WWE has had since "Bret screwed Bret". For the last 10 years, Vince has put everything on Cena, forcing him down the throats of the WWE Universe, and after last night (April 1, 2013), it's time, buddy!
After watching The Rock dominate in his war of words with Cena leading up to Wrestlemania, it's obvious that Cena has lost the crowd. Nothing Cena can do will win these fans back, especially the 18-34 demo. The Rock is a reminder of the WWE when it was beyond marketable. Cena represents the WWE when the action tame, no more ass, hell, damn, piss, or anything else that the Attitude era brought out. With a new title belt (thanks, Rock), comes in a new era! Along with that, Cena needs to change.
Back in mid-2011, when CM Punk reminded the WWE Universe how powerful microphone work could be, Cena couldn't gain any traction from Punk's dominance. Even when Punk turned heel and brought in Heyman, the crowd is pro-Punk all the way. Why, because he's honest with the crowd! John Cena's problem is Vince McMahon. Vince had the Hogans, Harts, Austins, Rocks, Savages, and he tried to do that for Cena, but the WWE Universe won't let it happen.
Remember when Hogan took on The Rock at Wrestlemania. Hogan didn't do anything special for that match, the crowd changed the match. With the crowd changing, Hogan followed suit and that saved the match. If John Cena wants to continue dominating the WWE, he needs to take the title from The Rock and turn on the crowd. A turn for Cena will draw an honesty to the WWE Universe that could possibly turn the tide of the anti-Cena faction to become more pro-Cena. Cena can start telling the crowd, "I gave you want you wanted, it wasn't enough. Now it's my time to prove everyone wrong!" As a heel, his talents will shine brighter, not playing to the crowd as much, and eventually the crowd will accept him!
Just my opinion!
