The issue isn’t necessarily that he is using the song, but more that it’s just come to their attention, and if the WWE are not the holders of the copyright to the song, then they need to back-pay royalties for the time that the WWE have used it. If Sony are the legal copyright owners, then they are entitled to be paid royalties for the use of their song by WWE.
MSG, you claim that because Cena added lyrics to it, it’s a parody? That’s incorrect, it’s a remix. Regardless, if it’s using the music owned by someone else, then royalties must be paid. Think of all the parodies by “Weird” Al Yankovich. He pays royalties to the copyright holders to all the songs he parodies.
For the record, I am a HUGE WWE fan, so don’t think I’m against the WWE in any way, but all owners of copyrights in any medium, music, art, etc, are entitled to be paid if people wish to use their legal property.

hah! They just want to sap money off of the WWE. Now that VInce is making money again, everyone is getting anxious about wanting a piece of it. ok if he did add lyrics (cena) then it is a parody and all they need to do is say so plus look at girlfriend by avril lavrigne it supposedly was copied from boyfriend by whoever the name is no big fuss there my point exactly they are just trying to be a b*i*t*c*h about it b/c they are jealous of the success that VInce and the WWE and the wrestlers have

You have to know that not everyone is a wrestling fan. That’s why they just realized it now.
