Its been happening for a while now, but clean cut babyface megastar John Cena is the moral compass for the WWE occasionally. When someone in authority looks to be abusing their power, herrrrrres Johnny! If he has nothing else to do on the show, that is. Hes jumped into programmes featuring a heel general manager Vickie Guerrero to tell her off for riding roughshod over people. Hes done likewise for Vince McMahon over the CM Punk storyline a few years back, and hes stepped in for Daniel Bryan multiple times in the last year or so. But only when hes not busy. There are rarely consequences for Cena in doing so. Sure, he might be booked in a nasty gimmick match later on as a punishment, but John Cena eats impossible odds for breakfast - hes actually more likely to win a match like that on television than he is a standard one-on-one. Fundamentally, its not good for a feud and for the babyface whos supposed to triumph over the corrupt authority figure, if their big brother has to step in and save them on national television by having a word with the boss. When he can be bothered, of course.
