I agree with that...I will say that the only way that this will matter is if Cena is off tv for a large amount of time. If next week, he's back because of a loophole or something, they just wasted 2 months.
Pretty much...and it wouldn't surprise me if they do.
On a side note...
I actually like Cena.
From all accounts, he sounds like a nice dude in the sense that he seems like a hard worker, a cooperator, he's good with the fans, and doesn't cause problems in or out of the company.
He got AND capitalized on his break, doing very well for himself.
He also seems to genuinely enjoy what he does.
For his sake, I hope he's smart and takes some time off now & then to give his body and head a break.
Do like Taker; heal up, come back fresh, prolong your career, and take every opportunity to explore other options to make even more money.
All I can say is, "good for him!"
