WrestleMania 39: WWE to choose John Cena’s opponent from THESE THREE names

This
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
16-Time
WWE
World
Heavyweight
Champion
is
set
to
return
to
WWE
programme
on
the
December
30th
episode
of
SmackDown
that
emanates
from
the
Amalie
Arena
in
Tampa,
Florida.

This
will
be
the
final
WWE
live-taping
show
of
2022
where
The
Cenation
Leader
will
make
his
second-only
WWE
TV
appearance
of
the
year
as
he
previously
appeared
on
the
June
27
episode
of
Raw
to
celebrate
his
20th
anniversary
in
the
company.

As
for
his
next
appearance,
Xero
News
has
provided
an
update
stating
that
John
Cena
will
announce
his
entry
into
the
Men’s
Royal
Rumble
2023
match
during
his
Smackdown
return.
This
will
be
five
years
later
that
he
will
participate
in
a
Rumble
match.

Cena’s
last
televised
match
in
WWE
took
place
at
Summerslam
2021,
where
he
came
up
short
against
Roman
Reigns
with
the
Universal
Championship
hanging
in
the
balance
in
the
main
event.

Mark
your
calendars,

@JohnCena
is
coming
back
to

#SmackDown
on
December
30th!

You
won’t
want
to
miss
it!

2022

His
next
one-on-one
bout
is
expected
to
take
place
at
Wrestlemania
39.
It’s
been
noted
that
Cena
wants
to
become
the
successor
of
The
Rock
from
WWE
in
Hollywood
and
it’s
important
for
him
to
be
a
part
of
the
show
that’s
also
being
dubbed
WrestleMania
Hollywood.

In
an
update
regarding
this,
Xero
News
added
that
WWE
has
3
names
in
mind
for
Cena’s
opponent
from
Raw
and
Smackdown:
Logan
Paul,
LA
Knight,
and
United
States
Champion
Austin
Theory.

Multiple
previous
reports
have
indicated
that
WWE
wants
John
Cena
vs.
Austin
Theory
to
happen
at
WrestleMania
39
as
the
seeds
for
the
match
were
planted
on
the
June
27
episode
of
Raw
where
the
two
were
featured
in
a
backstage
confrontation.

Also
before
Survivor
Series
2022,
Theory
appeared
on
WWE’s
The
Bump
on
YouTube
and
said
he’s
better
than
Cena.
But
the
source
mentioned
that
Logan
Paul
is
the
front-runner
in
facing
the
former
WWE
Champion
while
Theory
is
the
least
likely
to
get
selected:

“We
are
told
Cena
is
still
planned
for
WrestleMania.
Logan
Paul,
LA
Knight
&
Austin
Theory
are
the
options
for
Cena
at
Mania.
I
was
told
Theory
is
the
least
likely
option.
I
was
told
Cena
vs.
Logan
is
the
frontrunner,
Knight
is
2nd
option
for
Cena.”

Logan
Paul
has
already
asked
WWE
Creative
Head
Triple
H
for
the
mega
match
against
John
Cena
at
the
Show
of
Shows
and
that
match
should
be
the
likely
direction,
moving
forward.
We’ll
have
to
wait
and
see
to
learn
how
WWE
will
book
this
match
on
TV.
