If Cena isn’t going to retire after Mania this year, then I think he should win the title and vacate it and then go for #17 next year before retiring. If Cena does plan to retire after Mania, then obviously give the rub to Theory

the only thing that is certain about this match is that Vince McMahon will reach climax during it.

I'm sticking with my prediction. This is a big name part-timer coming in for a Wrestlemania moment against a young guy on a hot streak. Theory SHOULD win, but he won't.

I mean Cena hasn’t won a one on one match since 2018, and if they want to keep bringing him in then Cena SHOULD win. Theory is still young and just being in a match with a star like Cena is a rub for him. If Theory actually beats Cena, then he should be propelled to win a world title, and I don’t think he’s ready for that yet |

Cena is yesterday, time to move on to today, and, while I'm not a HUGE fan of the guy, that's what Theory is. Or, to make the point more brief, the guy that's actually gonna be on Raw the night after Mania should always win.

I see this like when Cena called out Taker. It needs to be quick, brutal and the old man needs to win as the young man ran his mouth too much. Three next night Cena can put over a young guy in an open challenge for the US Title in a shocker.

Cena likely wins by DQ or some shenanigans. I dont see Cena taking the title of Theory.
I could also see Theory winning dirty so he can gloat about it.
I could also see Cena winning clean and totally burying Theory.

Depends where they go with it. I can see Cena reviving his open challenge for the US Title the next night on Raw, for a big surprise challenger to defeat him for it. That would be a hell of a debut.

Theory wins by a roll-up or using the ropes but Cena will have the last laugh by giving him an AA after the match.

This is the first time I've ever wanted Cena to beat the young guy.

Oh, oh yes. Of course. Someone debuts from NXT - Bronn maybe. Rehash the 'Ruthless Aggression' moment with Cena now in the Angle role. It writes itself. That is 100% what is happening. |

Could be, but Bronn feels more likely See I think Melo is more likely to be brought up than Bron. Bron still seems rough around the edges while Melo seems more polished and ready. That said I think that spot would be a better spot for White who knows how to handle that pressure of a crowd like that and facing someone like Cena. |

Cena wins. Does the open challenge on RAW the next night. Solo answers with Paul Heyman as his manager and beats Cena.

I dont disagree, but if the point of the segment is to evoke the Cena 'Ruthless Aggression' moment, that's Bronn |

If you put Cena in there with a guy with actual big potential like Bron Breakker, you should probably put Bron over. They've clearly got big plans for this guy in the near future.
Austin Theory is a guy who has less surefire potential, therefore, Cena should win.
It gets especially tricky right now since Cena is due for a celebratory win if he plans on wrestling several more matches.
You also have the option of Cena winning now and losing later, giving Theory the shot in the arm he needs to one day beat Cena in 2-3 years in Cena's last match, should he reach that level. You can redeem the loss and develop character growth, creating that elusive 'putting someone over in defeat' thing they usually don't quite get right. I think with Theory this makes the most sense since either Cena wins and looks good for the next guy he actually loses to, or eventually he pays it back should Theory meet his potential.
