There's also absolutely no reason why Bray Wyatt couldn't have defeated John Cena in Payback's Last Man Standing match, leading to Cena cutting a depressed promo and taking a vacation from the ring for six months. Yes, Bray Wyatt is *considered* a star, but is he *truly* one? The fans need the vision of Wyatt defeating Cena - who for many, is their least favorite wrestler - to put him over the top. Giving Bray the "rub" and watching "absolute power" corrupt the "Man of 1000 Truths" into being a total a**hole heel would be amazing television. Plus, selling "We Miss Cena," "Let's Go Cena" and even "Cena Sucks" merchandise to Cena fans in Cena's absence could be a huge money maker. Of course, Cena returning in time for say, Survivor Series would likely sell that Pay Per View by itself. Also, if Wyatt defeated Cena, it is, again, another new star from the "New Reality" era, thus proving its worth.
