Some have dubbed him the greatest WWE superstar in the company's history. Even his critics acknowledge how vital he has been for the company when it decided to adopt a more family-friendly approach. While he's no longer a full-time superstar, he's still a very important one. His name is John Cena!
It is no secret that Cena has two major commitments at present. When he's not in the ring, he's a major player on the silver screen. So how does one book John Cena's return to the ring then, you ask?
In this article, I've thought of 5 possible scenarios. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of these storylines and plots.
These are 5 possible ways I would book John Cena's potential return!
#5 Heel Cena takes out Reigns
John Cena and Roman Reigns had quite the rivalry last year. Cena brought out the best in Reigns and they engaged in a series of promos that broke the fourth wall. They even had a match, at the end of which Cena raised Reigns' hand in acknowledgment of the new 'guy' in WWE. We may not have seen the last match in this particular series.
We know that despite the urging of the WWE Universe, Reigns will not go heel. Could Cena go heel instead and shock the world? The WWE Universe has, of course, wanted a heel John Cena for a really long time now.
The fact that Reigns is getting shot after shot at the Universal Championship when Cena is not (do not forget that he's on the verge of breaking Ric Flair's 16 World Championship record), could what sends him teetering over the edge, at last. Who wouldn't want to see a heel John Cena?
#4 Challenging Nikki Bella's new boyfriend
WWE has never shied away from using real-life storylines to further certain angles. The modern WWE fan is suave, reads the dirt-sheets and knows exactly what's happening with their favorite superstars behind the scenes. Everyone knows that Cena and Bella recently called it quits. This could actually lead to a very interesting storyline.
Nikki Bella could always return to WWE with a new 'boyfriend'. Ziggler would be the obvious man to play the role because of their history. Could this be the impetus for John Cena to return and take on the new boyfriend in a 'reality' storyline?
If any two superstars would be okay with using their real-life breakup as a storyline, it would probably be Cena and Bella. They are both professionals and lest one forget, they are reality TV stars.
#3 As a contender at Money in the Bank
Remember how Cena was a participant at both Elimination Chamber and Fastlane? This is because he still remains a top draw for WWE to this day. Could he be brought on board to add star power and sell tickets for Money in the Bank? Don't expect him to win the briefcase though!
This is an unexciting possibility but it is certainly a probable one. Having Cena in this match could actually spark off a brand new feud based on how the match actually pans out.
#2 Challenging The Undertaker again?
For weeks and weeks, Cena called out The Undertaker to come forth and compete. The Undertaker would eventually show up at WrestleMania and squash John Cena. Yes, Cena never really had a chance at WrestleMania. Many fans grumbled that this was not the dream match that they were promised.
Did the match play out in the way that it did because there's yet another chapter of the rivalry planned for somewhere down the line? The Undertaker is back and he is wrestling better than ever before. He even took on Rusev in a competitive match at the Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
We wouldn't be surprised if the two men go head-to-head at SummerSlam. This would be a surefire way to sell tickets for the event.
#1 Surprise challenger for the IC title Open Challenge
Seth Rollins has followed in the footsteps of John Cena. Cena made the US Title prestigious by defending it every week in an open challenge. Rollins is doing much the same with the Intercontinental Championship on RAW. However, could one of his challengers be John Cena?
Cena could challenge Rollins and end up dethroning him. This could spark off a rivalry between the two men. They did have incredible chemistry when they worked together, back when Rollins was Champion.
This is how I would book Cena's return. One of these 5 possibilities for sure!
