The 17-time world champion, despite being a face for the entirety of his WWE career until now, could still reignite fan support and drive compelling storylines if he goes back to being a good guy. Cena’s charisma and history of inspiring the fandom will make such a transition very natural, and this could lead to memorable rivalries against the top heels of the company.

#3. He could go on to have an epic feud with another superstar

John Cena could ignite a non-title feud with another top star of the company after losing the title. His impressive in-ring credentials will ensure a high-profile rivalry that would pique the interest of the WWE Universe.

Following his potential Undisputed WWE Championship loss, John Cena could focus on putting over an emerging WWE talent.

Cena could not ask for more in terms of what he has achieved in his career as a WWE Superstar. This could be his way of giving back to the industry, as his credibility makes him ideal for putting over up-and-coming talent.

By engaging in feuds or matches with fresh talents, Cena can strap their careers with rocket boosters, shooting them up to wrestling stardom. This in turn would strengthen WWE’s future roster that is currently filled to the brim with future greats.

Doing so allows The GOAT to remain a key figure in WWE while nurturing fresh talent.

#1. Making an appearance/competing in other wrestling promotions

WWE is now lenient in terms of letting their superstars appear in wrestling promotions other than theirs. To that end, John Cena might be allowed to do so after losing his Undisputed WWE Championship.

Both TNA and WWE have good working relations, as some of the former’s in-ring talents can be seen in the latter and vice versa. There is also WWE’s acquisition of the famed Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, as the purchase was announced during WrestleMania 41’s pre-show.

The 17-time world champion may pay a visit to the aforementioned promotions, as wrestling fans could take a newfound interest in them and their roster of amazing talents. Imagine Cena making an appearance at AAA as his Juan Cena alter ego chanting “lucha!”
