10 Reasons Why Seth Rollins Will Never Eclipse CM Punk's Success
7. Seth Rollins Can't Generate Heat Against John Cena Like CM Punk Did
Drawing heat against John Cena is a pretty easy thing for the average WWE superstar to do. However, when you're a top-of-the-line WWE superstar, John Cena goes from being a punching bag to instead being one of the easiest targets for derision of all time. From The Rock to the aforementioned CM Punk, top WWE performers have had some of their most career defining moments as characters at the cost of potentially damaging the ego of John Cena. Somehow, though he's been involved in feuds with John Cena for nearly a year, Seth Rollins has been unable to hit a career-defining and heat-garnering zinger on the non-moving target that is John Cena. No "fruity pebbles," no "pipe bomb," nothing. John Cena literally knows that he's John Cena every day he works for WWE, and there's probably kids in the crowd holding signs who could swing for the fences material-wise moreso than Seth Rollins has. That's unfortunate.
