I briefly considered it, but then thought why would they want to jeapordize the ass load of money they're going to make on his retirement tour with ticket sales and merchandise. I thought that at this point Cena was just going to basically "play the hits". It's a pretty big swing they're taking here. 

I think its gonna be bigger than if he was still a face.

He can always get his redemption arc later in the year.

I think it's definitely going to be bigger for people watching at home. Way more interesting.

The question is though, if I'm going to buy a ticket to see Cena one last time live, would I want to see Hustle, Loyalty, Respect Cena, or this new version? Whose Tshirt am I more likely to buy?

So, I think for live attendance/merch, it's better to keep him face. But, again, it's a bold strategy. Lets see if it pays off for em.
