WWE WrestleMania 35: 3 Opponents for John Cena if he returns

John Cena is undoubtedly the biggest name of the modern era who is likely to participate at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The 16-time WWE World Champion returned to WWE at the beginning of this year, and he was scheduled to take part in Royal Rumble match.

Nevertheless, an unfortunate ankle injury ruled him out of the Royal Rumble match, but he could be back before WrestleMania 35.

There is no denying that Cena's star power will add a lot of attention before WrestleMania 35. Cena made his debut in 2002, and he never missed any WrestleMania in his WWE career. Currently, the Leader of Cenation is a part-timer who occasionally performs in the squared circle.

WrestleMania 35 is less than one month away, and the elation is sky-high. With several blockbuster matches on the card, Cena's addition could be cherry on the cake. Several superstars are worthy of facing the legendary superstar.

Here we discuss three opponents who could face John Cena if he returns from injury at WrestleMania 35.

#3 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre could be a great candidate to face the Leader of Cenation. McIntyre is scheduled to meet The Shield in a six-man Tag Team match at Fastlane, but he could search for a new opponent after the show in Cleveland. Considering McIntyre is one of the elite superstars of the red brand, John Cena could be an ideal choice to collide with the Scottish Psychopath.

Drew McIntyre and John Cena had an intense segment when Cena returned to Vince McMahon's billion dollar company in January. The two men also locked horns in the ring, but they did not have a one-on-one bout. As a matter of fact, McIntyre was the man who accidentally injured Cena in January.

Hence, the two men could restart the rivalry if Cena returns after Fastlane. Considering McIntyre injured the former WWE Champion, the rivalry could become more spectacular. McIntyre can lift his stature in WWE if he manages to pin Cena at Metlife Stadium.

#2 The Undertaker

Undertaker and John Cena faced each other at WrestleMania 34, but the match was bland. The Phenom squashed the Leader of Cenation in three minutes which surprised the WWE Universe. Moreover, the bout did not have a proper build-up. The scenario could alter this year if we get to see a rematch of last year.

There is no denying that Undertaker and John Cena are two gigantic names in WWE. They share twenty-three WWE World Titles between them and numerous other records. Undertaker is a regular performer at WrestleMania, and he is expected to have a match in New Jersey.

Since Undertaker is in the twilight of his career, John Cena could be an ideal superstar to retire the Phenom. They could have an exciting build-up for the match following Fastlane, and it could turn out to be one of the best bouts at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Cena could take the vengeance of the loss at WrestleMania 34 if he gets a rematch this year.

#1 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns could be a dream opponent for John Cena at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Though the two men locked horns in the past, they never had a long rivalry.

Roman Reigns made his return two weeks ago as the Shield is set to fight the team of Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin at Fastlane. However, he might have a singles match in New Jersey.

Roman Reigns undoubtedly replaced John Cena in WWE as Reigns has taken his place as the ultimate face of the company. Since Cena became a part-time superstar, Reigns carried the company on his shoulder, and he headlined several shows. In fact, the former Universal Champion main evented four WrestleMania pay-per-views in a row.

Cena and Reigns locked horns at No Mercy in 2017 when the Big Dog overpowered the Leader of Cenation. The Rock passed the torch to John Cena at WrestleMania 29 and Cena could do same at WrestleMania 35 which will take place in the venue. The fans will be heavily invested in this bout if the two biggest superstars of the modern era decide to fight at Metlife Stadium.
