5 potential opponents for John Cena when he returns

#3 Keith Lee could face John Cena

Keith Lee is one to watch out for.

Keith Lee moved from NXT to RAW in late August. He gained a handful of decisive victories over the likes of Randy Orton, Andrade, and Dolph Ziggler. However, judging by his booking, it doesn't seem that WWE has a long-term plan for the former NXT Champion. That is where the presence of a dedicated and established veteran like John Cena comes in handy.

Over the past few years, John Cena has put over the likes of The Fiend, Roman Reigns, and Finn Balor. Hence, Cena would be willing to do the honors for an up-start like Keith Lee.

John Cena vs. Keith Lee doesn't sound like your typical dream match, but it has a ton of potential. The Limitless One is one of the most talented in-ring performers on the main roster, and Cena has put on some of the best matches of his career recently.
