They want him so bad to be superman, so bad to make everybody like him.

That's the thing that's weird about the angle. Even with the same exact promos, he could easily be hinting at a turn right now if ANYONE besides Punk had acknowledged his bizarre interpretation of the past few weeks. But because they're still treating him like John Cena, hero to one and all, and refusing to comment on the shadiness surrounding how he got the paper title in the first place, he's just confusing and kind of sad. Poor Rey, from two great matches in one night to background for a segment centered around Miz-Truth without anyone even alluding to his possible grievances.
I really think a Cena heel turn at Summerfest, either by snapping after losing or cheating to beat Punk, could be the catalyst to an enormously hot angle that could last for months and put both in a better position to reach mainstream audiences. It won't happen, but it would be amazing.
