It looks like he’s gonna be facing Theory, but will it be for the US title? Or will theory drop it before then? Personally If Austin came back, that would be THE match to do. LA Knight vs Cena would also be dope. Either way I think Cena should win since he hasn’t won a singles match in a min

I'd rather he just sit out Mania entirely but if he must be part of it surely they can think of more interesting things for him to do than waste his time with Grr SRS Dead Crowd Theory.

Gotta go with Baron Corbin. Have him avenge JBL for the last time Cena wrestled at Wrestlemania in Hollywood.

Cena/Theory or Cena/LA Knight are both great options.

Ideally, it’d be Cena Vs Austin. What a spectacle that would be..
But guessing they’re going with Theory. And my bet is homeboy loses the US title at EC.

My ideal scenario is Cena beating Theory sometime before Mania and getting Gunther'd at Mania so bad that Cody's feud with Gunther is partially him trying to avenge Peacemaker's spirit

If you're going to put someone over Cena, it's Gunther. He's the only person who feels like he's earned it and it would be a story that makes sense: Cena is coming for his Grand Slam, and he sees Gunther as the ultimate challenge to finally do it. That would probably cause some ripples: it still feels like it should be Sheamus' match and storyline (wants his own Grand Slam, wants that win back from Gunther after they killed it at Clash at the Castle). So maybe Cena beats a disappointed Sheamus for that match, and Sheamus and Drew end up going for the tag titles...but only if the intent is to free Sami up for a match for the Universal title. The only other person on the roster who isn't presumably engaged elsewhere and feels remotely worthy of a match with Cena at this point, win or lose, is Solo. Solo taking Cena to the limit but just coming up short could still make him if you're doing a "Bloodline loses everything" payoff, or Solo as the only Bloodline member to win, and doing it in a huge match against Cena, would actually be worth the showcase with Cena. |

I think Theory is great, and only getting better. The rub from a Cena feud would just keep pushing him along.
If Cena takes on Gunther, it will just dissolve in to racism and USA chants.

Is this more or less confirmed? Dude was barely allowed to do anything in that tag match a few weeks ago. I can’t imagine the studios would be too happy with him having a full match. 🤷🏻♂️

The story writes itself- The Dr of Thuganomics takes on his biggest street challenge yet- Hard Time Dom Mysterio.

Possible he may be the host instead of a match?

If he has a match at Mania hopefully it's against someone he can get a win against. He's reaching 2000s Foley or mid-2010s Jericho level were I expect him to lose any big PPV match he has now. If he's going to appear even semi-regularly over the next few years he has to win now and then.
Theory is probably the perfect choice. He can take a loss and just being in a match with Cena at Wrestlemania is a huge spot for him.

Hoping it’s against Austin Theory and Cena puts him over.

Anything with Cena is entertaining these days as it is so rare. 😎
