Could Cena's 17th Championship reign involve the Universal Championship?
To the victor go the spoils. John Cena made short work of the legendary Triple H in the opening contest of the Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. One assumes that this would put him right in contention for the prized Universal Championship that Brock Lesnar holds. Cena vs. Lesnar is a marquee feud, be it in 2005 or 2018.
Cena has an opportunity to break Ric Flair's record and become the 17-time champion by defeating the Beast Incarnate and taking the Universal Championship from him. If he wins, much like Lesnar, he too could become a part-time champion who only attends when it is required.
