I think it was more Cena story that killed things and people holding titles too long is killing things too

Drew should have beat Cody at some point here.

Seth had that title too long before, so it felt like a rehash of his prior run.

You don't want your title belts to bounce around too much, but not everyone needs to hold the title for a full year either.

Still think the issue with the Cena thing too was he had no reason to be a heel. He should have lost at Chamber - it should have been framed as Cody vs Punk and then Cena should have turned on Cody / Punk and turned to the The Rock to give him his place in the WM match.

Cena would have had an actual reason to be heel. You would have had Cena vs Cody vs Punk which would have been a better quality wrestling match too. And could have given Reigns vs Rollins the 1:1 match they deserve too. Also kind of keeps the Rock out of the story long term - because him and Cena were never a deep faction just two guys using each other to get their way - Cena needed Rock to get into WrestleMania - Rock wanted Cena to take the belt off Cody.

The whole last true champion and take the belt with him thing never made sense either. Should have just been more that Cena was jealous of Cody, and wasn't ready to give his spot up yet, but he should have pretty much still just acted like Super Cena that had the fans booing him anyways, except cheating to win instead of being honorable.
