Yeah that's how I saw it really. Cena's right, but he's still Cena >_>
They could bring Punk into his turn as well (and probably will, once Rock is out of the equation). Cena works hard for the crowd and is as "real" a nice guy as they come, but Punk, and his theme song, basically tells the crowd "hey I'm exploiting and using you, cult of personality, I need you on side to make the changes I want to make blah blah blah" and they still love him as much as or more than Cena. So yeah plenty of material there.
