Nobody needs to see this.

Would John Cena winning get a cheer? Absolutely. Are there those out there who'd love to see him win the United States Title and work some open challenge segments again? No doubt. Does 'Big Match John' have time for that due to his Hollywood schedule? Nah, not really.

Besides, Austin Theory is the future of this company (or at least a big part of it). He doesn't deserve to get squashed flat by somebody who's only really been brought in to help elevate him. Surely that's WWE's thinking here - they wouldn't cut Theory off at the knees or make him look like a 1980s jobber at 'Mania, would they?!

It'd be a nightmare if the match started, Austin went for a punch, Cena ducked, and then the icon sprinted through his usual signature offensive moves before scoring the win. 90 seconds later, Theory would be dead in the water as an ongoing concern.
