Former 16-time World Champion John Cena will make his return to WWE TV at the upcoming Super Show-Down event in Australia, where he'll team up with Bobby Lashley to take on the team of Kevin Owens and Elias.
As of this writing, it doesn't look like John Cena will be around as a regular after the Super Showdown event, which probably means that this tag match is a one-off and that he won't return until it's WrestleMania season.
Of course, while Cena's moment at this past year's WrestleMania was quite memorable, it wasn't exactly the dream match everyone was expecting, as The Undertaker crushed him in pretty quick fashion.
So, with John Cena likely not returning to WWE television in a major way until the new year, WWE has several months to build up a great match between the ex-16 time world champion and one of the superstars of Raw or SmackDown. But, who'll John Cena be facing off with when he returns? Well, here are a few possibilities.#
#3 John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley
To say that WWE has underutilized Bobby Lashley since his return would be quite an understatement, as most feel that he should've been the guy to beat Brock Lesnar instead of Roman Reigns.
One of the best ways to get Bobby Lashley back in the main event scene is to have him take on John Cena, who he faced off against back in 2007. Both men are completely different performers than they were 11 years ago, so I would assume that they wouldn't try to do the exact same match, as both men are a lot more seasoned than they were back then.
As previously mentioned, Cena and Lashley are set to be partners when WWE heads to Australia next month, so they could kick off a feud between the two on the show. But, if a feud involving Cena is going to begin at Super Showdown, then I'd expect it to be with the next entry on this list.
#2 John Cena vs. Elias
Even though these two have wrestled before on television, John Cena and Elias haven't yet had a proper pay-per-view match, despite the fact that it's been teased several times. In fact, the only real confrontation they had on pay-per-view was back at WrestleMania 34 where Cena destroyed Elias en-route to his match with The Undertaker.
At one point earlier this year, it did look like WWE was going to do John Cena vs. Elias at WrestleMania, but that obviously didn't happen. So, does that mean that they'll do it at WrestleMania 35? It's possible, but it depends on what Cena wants to do on the show when he comes back.
Also, there is a chance that WWE will book Elias against The Rock if "The People's Champ" is able to return for next year's WrestleMania in New York.
#1 John Cena vs. Braun Strowman
Yet another match that has happened on WWE television, but not on pay-per-view, is John Cena vs. Braun Strowman. This match on PPV is only natural, simply because it would do Strowman a lot of good to defeat John Cena clean in a pay-per-view main event, especially if it were at WrestleMania.
As of this writing, it's unclear how long the Braun Strowman heel turn will last, but prior to his turn, he was the hottest babyface in the company, so one would assume that he'll reclaim that role once he turns back.
Even if Strowman went into a match with Cena as a heel, he'd probably be cheered, and he'd probably be cheered even louder if he were to defeat the former 16-time champion. So, if WWE is worried about the fans not accepting Strowman when they turn him back, then they should book him to beat Cena on a pay-per-view, which would probably make him the biggest babyface in the company.
