Cody vs Cena actually feels a bit forced right now IMO and think it could have a better build to that match. Here is how I'd book it:

- Elimination Chamber: Cena gets eliminated early in this match, creates a bit of shock and even more "frustration" for Cena after his Rumble loss.

- Road to Mania: Cena wants his 17th title and is willing to do anything to get it, and will challenge any World Champion...Joe Hendry answers the call.

- WrestleMania: Cena looks overly cocky and confident going into the match, doesn't take Hendry seriously and loses the match. Punk beats Cody at WrestleMania. Jey beats Gunthier.

- Raw After Mania: Cena comes out and challenges new World Champion Jey Uso to his first title defense, but loses that match too.

- Now Cena is in a crisis of confidence, and it takes rivals from his past (Orton, JBL, Punk, HHH), and a defeated Cody Rhodes, to make him realize that he's not being John Cena, he's trying to take the easy way out.

- So then Cena spends a couple months in Rocky style montages and matches where he tries to earn his title shot and prove he's still worthy. He qualifies for Money in the Bank, wins the title shot, and then challenges CM Punk for the title at Summerslam, where he wins his 17th title.

- Cena defends the title for a couple months, which leads to a title defense vs Cody at Survivor Series. Cody wins the title sending Cena into retirement, and as the new "Face" of the WWE.

I like it for the most part of giving Cena a rocky ending with struggles and triumphs. However I just wish that WWE had that young midcarder that Cena could hand the torch and world title to at the end of his run. Having Cena passing his torch off to Cody seems like a missed opportunity.
