With John Cena's retirement tour in WWE nearing its end, many have questioned who his final opponent will be. According to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, one particular star could have been a good pick if he hadn't already been fumbled by his booking.
The star being talked about is Jacob Fatu, who took the active scene by storm after arriving last year. Since then, his explosive speed and in-ring skill have quickly made him a prominent name. He later won the United States Title from LA Knight but eventually lost it to Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions.
On Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated that Jacob Fatu might not be in the creative department's good graces right now.
"I don't even know if he is in the doghouse now or not. God the only one is, if you'd have continued to have him rolling rolling rolling rolling and the people would get behind him, would be (Jacob) Fatu. But even now, they've taken the belt off of him; he wasn't on the show last week. So that's why I am saying there is nothing." [4:06 onwards]

Vince Russo also ruled out another potential WWE opponent for John Cena
According to Vince Russo, Bron Breakker is also unlikely to be a strong opponent to end John Cena's retirement tour.
Speaking on the same episode of Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:
"I don't think so, bro, I don't. God, I swear to God, and I said this from day one. This guy's freaking name alone is gonna hold him back. I don't think, listen, he is a solid, solid, solid, solid player. Is he main event? I look at him right now, and I don't see that man. I just don't see that. I see a very strong, you know, generic wrestler. I mean, that's what I see."
For now, fans will have to stay tuned to see who Cena's last opponent will be.
