>>17191488That was the carny mindset of making sure Brock would do business, plus Vince held a grudge against him for walking out years before. It was stupid of course but I can at least see the silly logic. Cena has been nothing but good to the company, stuck with them and is doing his last year with them. Him losing really makes no sense. If he was a face then sure, he'd lose to pass the torch and keep his story of the 17 going but as a heel he can get the 17 easily, tarnishing that milestone and then being the big bad champ to be taken down.
