When The Rock and Cena went at it last year, that was sold as a match that you would see only once in your lifetime. After Cena lost and they sold this whole idea about 2012 being the worst year in Cena's life, the popular belief would be that Cena could turn it around by winning the title from The Rock at Wrestlemania. From the time The Rock announced he would go after the title, a lot of people were anticipating the rematch. However, Cena's promo after winning the Royal Rumble actually made the possibility of facing CM Punk at Wrestlemania a possibility. Cena has beaten Punk before, but he failed to beat him to regain the title. And there is definitely a great rivalry between those two. By having Cena give that promo and choose to challenge for the WWE Championship rather quickly, CM Punk does not get buried away under an obvious rematch between The Rock and Cena.
Should this big match happen again? Given the fact that they have given CM Punk vs. Cena some credibility, I would rather not see The Rock vs. Cena II. It's not because it would be obvious to go that route. I just think you should leave the first encounter alone. Never before, never again? Let's keep it that way. Besides, if they do go that path for the WWE title match, Cena would obviously be regaining it. Wouldn't that mean The Rock has a right to a rematch? Then what? Three times in a lifetime? It loses more of the hype.
Of course, there is another option. CM Punk wins back the title somehow. Punk vs. Cena at Wrestlemania, but what about The Rock's rematch? Waste it on a Raw before Wrestlemania? That might bring some ratings, but how about a triple threat at Wrestlemania? CM Punk has the title, The Rock has a rematch coming, and Cena has a title shot through winning the Royal Rumble. That would not be the same as Rock vs. Cena II. Cena made it sound like both CM Punk and The Rock were guys he could not overcome, so why not put them both in the match for Cena to overcome? Seems very possible.
