nah, they relaly can't anymore. and they really don't seem to want to either - the fact that Cena went so far as to reference TNA is about as wide open as you can get. ROH? NJPW? okay, one's his past, the other's Japan (and MVP, who i want to see work with this angle in WWE too). but an unrelated and slightly relevant competitor being singled out is big.
