Choosing him to be the company's top guy isn't so much a promotion for him as it is a confirmation.
There will be a plethora of fans in neon cheering him on should he win. Kids, many members of the military and casual fans will be happy to see the ultimate good guy triumph once more.
Cena as a champion sets up a big SummerSlam match against just about anybody. If Daniel Bryan is healthy by then, a rematch has great promise. Another go-round with Brock Lesnar is a money match as as well.
Cena winning is the most boring and predictable option on the table. Fans have seen this story play out several times already, as Cena is already an 11-time WWE champ. He last held the title last August, a reign sure to be fresh in fans' minds.
Should his next reign come at Money in the Bank, WWE misses out on a chance to elevate a new star, to offer something new.
Even without the title, Cena has remained a marquee figure. Other Superstars need that prop more. Handing it to him has little dramatic effect and doesn't affect his career nearly as much as it would that of someone yet to stockpile so many accomplishments.
