Opinion: It makes sense that WWE would want Cena to be around, as fans are going to check out what he is doing because he is one of the biggest stars the company has ever had. Cena may have gone a bit too far with what he said to Theory, but it should be interesting to see where the story goes from here. Either way, the match is set and now we are in for a showdown at WrestleMania.
