5 Possible opponents for John Cena at WrestleMania 35

John Cena has successfully transitioned into a part-time WWE Superstar. After being the face of WWE for more than a decade he has shifted his focus towards Hollywood projects in the last few years and we can be sure that he will never return as a full-time WWE Superstar. His last major Pay Per View match this year was at WrestleMania 34 against The Undertaker.

John Cena might make his much-awaited return to WWE at the Royal Rumble early next year to compete in the Royal Rumble match. He might win the Royal Rumble Match and challenge the WWE or the Universal Champion. He could defeat the champion and become the first ever man to hold 17 World Championships. But there could also be other plans for the leader of the Cenation.

WrestleMania is just a few months away and we can expect John Cena to set up a mega match this year at the Show of Shows. So who can potentially face Cena? I have penned down 5 possible opponents for Cena at WrestleMania 35.

#5 Samoa Joe

The Samoan Submission Machine vs The Leader Of Cenation

Samoa Joe vs John Cena is a dream match for fans around the world. Both of the Superstars are extremely talented. Some of you might not know this but Cena and Joe started their wrestling careers together in Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW). Both of them took different paths in the early stage of their respective careers.

John Cena came to WWE at a very young age and successfully became one of the top and greatest Superstars in wrestling history. While at the same time Joe was working on independent wrestling promotions. This could definitely be the plot of the storyline between these two men.

Fans would love to see how WWE will book this rivalry. Also, both Cena and Joe have extraordinary promo skills and both guys will definitely kill it on the microphone in the build towards this match.

It is also the perfect way to put Joe over. Cena is at the end of his career and he could help a Superstar like Joe to get over.

#4 The Undertaker

The Deadman squashed Cena at Wrestlemania 34.

The Undertaker came out of his rumored retirement this year to fight John Cena at WrestleMania 34. After calling out The Undertaker for months, 'The Phenom' answered the challenge of John Cena at WrestleMania 34.

The match was a dream match for the fans and the fans expected that this match will tear the house down but the match was a bust. Undertaker squashed Cena in just under three minutes.

Because of the weird booking of their match at this year's WrestleMania, there is a high possibility that the Undertaker and Cena may face each other again at WrestleMania 35 next year.

Both of the Superstars have a massive fan following and a match between them would definitely make WrestleMania much more interesting.

This time, both guys could be putting their careers on the line. Cena vs the Undertaker in a career vs career match would be really exciting. Both guys have been the face of the company for many years. If one of them would have to retire after the match it will make the match must see and definitely increase the ratings.

#3 Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath could retire John Cena

Drew McIntyre has been on quite a run since returning to WWE. He had an amazing run in NXT. He competed in some of the best matches in NXT history and even became the NXT Champion. He debuted on the main roster after WrestleMania 34.

Since his main roster debut, the 'Scottish Psychopath' has defeated many excellent wrestlers. He has given amazing performances and has solidified his position as the top heel on Raw. He has been heavily protected since his debut and according to some reports he is in line for a major push in 2019.

That major push could start at the Grandest Stage of Them All. McIntyre will definitely be involved in a major match at WrestleMania and if he isn't in the Universal Title picture at Wrestlemania, I could see him facing John Cena.

Cena vs McIntyre is a big money match. A match with John Cena at WrestleMania would be an ideal place to establish Drew McIntyre as the next top guy and would also boost his credibility.

#2 Dean Ambrose

This will definitely be an explosive contest.

With the current storyline involving Rollins and Ambrose, many of you might think that this match will never happen. But please let me explain.

According to some reports, Seth Rollins will be facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. That means that Rollins will be soon dropping his Intercontinental Title and the person most likely to win it from Rollins is none other than 'The Lunatic Fringe' Dean Ambrose. Seth will most likely be defeated by Ambrose at TLC.

This means that we will not get to see Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. So who will Ambrose face? That is where John Cena comes in. Cena is a top babyface while Ambrose is a heel. The company might be looking to set up a huge 'face vs heel' match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.

Also, Cena hasn't won the IC title in his whole career, if Cena wins the IC title he will become a grand slam Champion. And even if Cena loses it will be a huge boost to Ambrose's career and it will help him to establish himself as the top heel and then he can go on to face other Superstars.

#1 The 'New' Daniel Bryan

Can Cena become a 17-time World Champion?

No one really thought that this match could happen until Daniel Bryan’s recent heel turn. With Bryan turning heel, there is a high probability that Bryan will be the champion till WrestleMania 35. With Bryan's current character, Cena is the best opponent for Bryan at WrestleMania as he is one of the top babyfaces and also Cena and Bryan have a history with each other.

Their personal relationship with one other can also come into play and this will definitely be an intriguing storyline. They could get really personal on the mic and deliver amazing promos. With Bryan's current character even the fans might start to root for Cena.

John Cena is yet to capture his 17th World Championship and Wrestlemania is the perfect place for him to win the title and become the first ever man to win 17 World Championships.

This match is also best for business as these two stars have a huge fan following and a rivalry between them would definitely boost the ratings.
