Loved there match from a couple years ago, so I'm really pumped for this.

So if the sales for the ppv are crap, who do you blame? Cena or Lesnar. I find it to be legitimately interesting question because if we look at recent Summerslam events:
2011: 296,000 buys. Main Event- John Cena vs. CM Punk 2012: 358,000 buys. Main Event(s)- Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H & CM Punk vs. John Cena vs. Big Show 2013: 296,909 buys. Main Event(s)- John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan & Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk
Now, I bring the figures up because this year, Vince and company don't have any scapegoats to blame bad buyrates on with Bryan being hurt and Punk being in limbo with his activity. So that leaves your franchise player and the guy who can't do any wrong (Cena), and the high priced box office draw (Lesnar) in a World Title match. It's your two biggest money makers in one match. So if the PPV flops, who gets the blame for the low numbers?
