When the top two matches are rematches from the last PPV and Cena/Wyatt is going for a third straight PPV it doesn't come off as appealing to the fans. Not only that, but these are feuds that have already had clean finishes in those matches with the babyfaces win. Cena beat Wyatt clean at WrestleMania 30 and The Shield beat Evolution at Extreme Rules. A babyface win usually means an issue is resolved. Not here. It's nice that Cena wants to fight for the fans to prevent Bray Wyatt's influence from spreading, but when you hear those two guys talk there are more people cheering for Wyatt. It took Cena quite a while to get out there to save Jerry Lawler from a potential attack that maybe Wyatt is right in that Cena only cares about himself. That's about the only "new" development in this angle in the last two months, but it's not like Cena is going heel either. There just isn't a hook for this show. At least Money in the Bank will feel different and so will Hell in a Cell later in the year. Payback is essentially the same thing with stipulation matches for the major feuds while everything else just doesn't matter as much. Change the name all you want. Until you can make the show feel different in a positive way fans aren't going to be that interested in it. Here's hoping that June is a better month than May has been for WWE.
