>>153183 Trying to draw some actual heel heat instead of rambling in the ring like a cuck because the crowd is "le meany" meanwhile looking more emotionless than 2015 Roman. Have him have weekly defense until summerslam, hype the matches up with top babyface midcarder or loved jobber like Akira Tozawa and R truth. Make all those matches 15 seconds squash, cena comes in the ring with no entrance music, rapes his opponent in 2 moves, then walk out. Actual lean on the "ruin wrestling" shit, make him no sell finishers hard, do unregular promos where he just says he's the goat, he made the company, he doesn't have to sell for shitters. Make his hubris the reason of his fall, either by something simple like neglecting Cody in a match for him to lose on a unexpected rollup, or do something with The Rock as a guest referee protecting him the entire match until a couple of top babyfaces comes out and interrupts Rock during a countdown, beat him up, then bring another referee for a Cody win by pin. Fantasy booking but I'd be fine if they just have him actually be evil instead of seething at the crowd of dumbass marks.

>>153183 1. Keep him not winning the Rumble and making the press conference announcement for foreshadowing but make Punk the winner instead. 2. EC happens, Cena doesn't win (instead it's Drew), Cena appears when Cody shows up and does the same thing that happened, Rock approves the nutshot and the three stooges stand tall. 3. Cena appears IMMEDIATELY after EC to explain why he attacked Cody. >"I did what I had to do to maintain my spot. I deserved it. I earned it. Not through any of your support, but what *I* did. Not a single one of you have ever genuinely been by my side and last night, for the first time, I fought for myself. And there was only one man, one true friend who showed up to be there when I needed it." >Also other stuff about "not being a heel or face but a human" and whatever. >Rock shows up holding an announce card >He does his thing or whatever and says that "Due to unforseen circumstances, Drew McIntyre suffered serious injuries in the Chamber, therefore the new winner will default to the second to last man, John Cena. Thank you. >This is very obviously false and either Drew gets kayfabe assaulted (but made to look like a shoot) or something to keep this lie up to cover the fact Dwayne abused his power to help Cena out. 4. Cody does not show up due to his injuries at EC but appears on Smackdown, not in ring, but for a quick promo of how "unrelentingly angry he feels" and "will be there when Cena shows up on Raw". 5. Raw happens, Cena appears in the ring, but with casual as can be clothes. No entrance theme, no merch, nothing. He's sticking by entirely on "being himself" and "not giving the fans anything". >He reiterates: "I despise each and every one of you, and if you have a problem with me being in the title picture, come down to this ring and beat me into submission. But you can't. Because I'm the strongest, etc..." something like that. Keypoint is to REALLY REINFORCE THAT CENA HATES HIS FANS GENUINELY. >But what about the makeawish kids? At some point or another between this timeline Cena would at least comment on that, saying he was trying for them to be a symbol of hope, to give them something, and at least they were kids, who meant no harm and deserved better. The people Cena rejects now are those who didn't suffer in life, hypocritical fans who only like him out of nostalgia and contrarianism, no real love for him. Something like that. 6. Back and forth between Cody, soul of the industry blablabla, lots of worked shoot promos and brawls to the build of Mania. Again: still no entrance, attire or merch of any kind for Cena. It's a run built on actual artistic integrity, which I know is absolutely foreign to WWE, but doing it like this would drive it home. 7. Punk appears at some point, admonishes Cena, lotta back and forth. Punk hints that he's got something special for Cena. 8. Punk's favor is turned into main eventing mania, and with an addendum: the winner of the triple threat also enters the fight between Cody and Cena. He'd reason it as "with all this backstabbing going on, you should be grateful that this is the fairest thing you'll ever get" or whatever. 9. Punk wins the triple, much to the agony of Seth, who looks on with murderous intent. 10. Main event happens, and since it's now no DQ, literally anything can happen, and Drew appears to attack Cena, Seth for Punk, Roman for everybody. Builds drama and craziness around the match. Cody retains because why the fuck would you not book your face to win.

>>153185 am curious how planned his run really is. Espcially with Rocky randomly inserting himself in

>>153183 He should have hit Cody with like 10 FUs after the match.

Actually, what they should have done is have Cena find the knucks Kross gave to AJ and put them in his jorts pocket. Then when Travis Scott distracts then hotshots the ref, and Cody's down from some heeling, (maybe Cody goes for a splash and Cena puts up his knees, and Cody sells it like he just took a 12 gauge to the guts) Cena takes out the knucks and gives Cody a loaded 5 knuckle shuffle. Cody gets color. Cena looks around and does it again. Cena looks around, but this time he sees the ref is getting up, and looks at the hard cam like he just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and dives in for the pin.

>>153183 Actually go to the make-a-wish foundation event and laugh at the disabled children

>>153731 Imagine the heat if he showed up to the hospital to be there when one of his Make-A-Wish kids get told he's in remission, then John Cena killed him with a shoot Attitude Adjustment.

>>153183 Since Hollywood has collapsed and Cena is fluent in Chinese, They shouldve went for Hengdian Cena…Maybe even do the Jinder thing where he does his promo and then repeats what he says in mandarin for heat. Especially now. I mean fuck it practically writes itself with Cody being such an American themed wrestler.

>>153183 You can't rehab this botched heel run. It's truly awful. They should've saved the heel turn for WM41 and never involved that crispy cricket Travis Scott.

>>153183 How can a man recover from this? How can a man recover from pahjeet level of bald spots?

>>153186 I just realized having Punk win the Rumble completely invalidates everything, dunno how that slipped my mind. Just make it LA Knight instead and he'll go for Gunther.
