Will Cena Embrace The Hate?

John Cena and Kane will face each other at the Royal Rumble. I am not expecting an excellent wrestling match from these two. This match has a story to it that will probably take the major focus.

Will John Cena embrace the hate? Will the combination of anger and frustration over what Kane has done to Zack Ryder and Kane's mind games cause Cena to snap and turn heel? This all originally started with whether or not the hate Cena gets from fans will consume him and cause the turn. By bringing in Zack Ryder and Eve, the WWE changed how they were going about it. Is this way really better? For one thing, it keeps Cena's resolve of the fans' hate not getting to him. I think it made for a more interesting storyline, as well. Of course, at the end of the day, it is still mainly for the benefit of Cena's character. Kane does get to portray an interesting character. Zack Ryder did get to look strong in not going down easily, and will be back fighting. The main character to benefit from this, however, is still Cena.

Will he turn heel? I don't think so. At least, not yet. If Cena was really going to turn, it would be bigger to do it when The Rock was around. It's looking like Cena will just overcome Kane and move on. What is really the other option? Cena embraces the hate, like Kane wants? He turns heel? That would kind of make Kane look above him. With Cena/Rock being such a big deal, I don't see how throwing Kane in there is needed. Cena can get payback on Kane without turning heel and turning on the fans. Hate for what Kane has been doing is not the same as hate for how the fans view him. Cena can definitely embrace the former hate in going over Kane.
