Maybe he really is hurt and they're about to write him off tomorrow
Raw without Cena or Punk for a month or two would be
Though they'd probably call Punk back though.
And hopefully, Punk will tell them, "fukk off, I'm not rushing back risking further injury. I'm gonna relax, spend time with my babe Ames, and recharge and heal up my injuries to be better than ever when I get back. And y'all cacs are just gonna have to deal with it."

Legit or not, I'd book an angle around a Cena injury so that Cena starts to question his place in wrestling. Have him really take this injury to heart and start thinking that maybe his best days are over, he's beaten the Rock at WM, won the title a million times, there's nothing left to do and now his body is giving out, have him wonder if maybe it really is Ryback's time, Shield's time, etc.
At some point during this angle, Zack Ryder comes out asking why it was never HIS time when the whole WWE Universe was behind him. Ask Cena why did he not only never consider stepping aside for him but also stole his girl and did nothing to stop him from getting injured by Kane. Ryder becomes a psychopath, twisted by his hatred for Cena as he blames him (right or wrong) for his own misfortunes.
All of this brings up memories and feelings for Kane who starts to get more aggressive & sadistic in his tag matches with D-Bry and eventually won't even hug him. D-Bry notices it, the announcers notice it, but no one ever makes the connection that the whole Zack/Cena feud is the catalyst for Kane's change in demeanor.
Kane ends up turning on Daniel in a some match and leaves the ring, letting their opponents beat-down Daniel and win the belts. Kane returns to the ring after the loss and DESTROYS D-Bry.
At some point Ryder and Cena have another in-ring confrontation and Kane runs down. Ryder looks visibly shaken but Kane DESTROYS Cena instead as a sinister smile creeps across Zack's face. They both end up beating Cena to a bloody pulp.
Ryder announces that he's the one responsible for turning Kane into a monster again and that he now understands the rage and hatred Kane feels for humanity. He says they have put aside their own issues to focus on the destroying the WWE Universe. They announce that Team Hell No is gone... and that Team Burn in Hell is here. Ryder & Kane then go on to win the tag belts at some point.
Eventually, this all leads up to a HIAC tag team title match featuring Team Burn in Hell defending against John Cena & Daniel Bryan at this year's Survivor Series.

Don't think Ryder would be the best guy for the storyline (it makes sense, but I just don't think he can pull off "obsessed psychopath"), but hell, they need new stars. This might have actually worked well, say, right after WrestleMania 28, when Ryder still had some semblance of heat remaining.
Hey creative, steal THIS why don't ya?
It's not supposed to be good. :ppvbro:
I fully admit booking Ryder as a demented, psychotic heel is pure uncut Colombian fukkery.
Honestly, as dead as Ryder has been, I still think they could do something like this with him for the short-term to give Cena a new heel to go against for a month or two. All it takes is a promo like Ryback did asking "where were you to help me?" Plus, it's natural to tie Kane into it somehow. The whole thing gives Cena a new opponent, turns Kane back into a monster, kills Team Hell No and puts D-Bry back in the main event spotlight.
