Just please do a little research next time. Cena merch was everywhere, he was unbelievably over and did it all while fighting the damn Big Show on Smackdown.

Cena was forced for a while...mainly because they had nothing. Cena was a miracle for WWE. Brock left out of nowhere, Rock had a way more successful movie career than they expected, Austin left, Goldberg flopped, Angle left in 06 I think it was, Randy was an unreliable nutcase, Eddie died, Benoit killed his family, HHH was holding down anyone and everyone, Jericho got burnt out and left.
Cena got stuck with Edge, who sucked; HBK who was old and typically only worked well with his friends at that point, HHH who was too busy being obsessed with HBK to do anything else, Orton (whom he tore the house down with), Batista (although that was a bit later after the roster started to flesh out again) and Big Show...who sucks. Obviously.
Cena had to overcome one of the worst rosters in WWE history, and he made the absolute best of it. Austin got the great priveledge of working with Undertaker, Rock, Bret, HBK, Foley, Entering-His-Prime HHH, and others. He got to work several once-in-a-generation talents. Cena got the corpse of HBK and Big Shit.
