Cena has never had a singular cover and was more than due. For this year’s game, for 2015, it will be on four platforms instead of two and with new consoles this year, the feeling is it’s a big opportunity for increased numbers in 2015 (as well as 2016) so the idea was, since Rock is retired and not available, it was imperative this year to play the biggest hand for the most people, and the belief is that is Cena, not Bryan, in the sense he’s more known, and the people who are Bryan fans who hate Cena are going to buy the game anyway. The idea of 15th time and 2015 are not coincidence in the sense there was a plan for him to have another title run at some point when the game came out. Obviously, it was not this soon in planning, since Bryan was going to keep it at the very least through SummerSlam if he wasn’t injured. The decision for Cena ahead of Bryan on the cover was made long before Bryan was hurt and long before the decision was made for Bryan to even get the title at Mania.
