During his WWE retirement tour, the 17-time World Champion has wrestled against some of his biggest opponents, including Randy Orton and CM Punk. He is now set to face another legend from his past, Brock Lesnar. The two will lock horns in a singles match at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event.

John Cena has been paying tribute to some of his greatest opponents in WWE

As mentioned above, John Cena only has seven dates left on his retirement tour. Although The Cenation Leader has wrestled against his two big rivals, Randy Orton and CM Punk, this year, there are still many names left that played a huge role in his career.

On last week's WWE SmackDown, the 17-time World Champion paid tribute to some of his greatest opponents during his match against Sami Zayn for the United States Championship. At one point, Cena hit a Pop-Up Powerbomb, which is Kevin Owens' move. He also did Edge's (Adam Copeland) signature taunt and Spear. It is highly unlikely that the two stars will face each other because The Rated-R Superstar is currently signed with AEW.

The Cenation Leader also paid tribute to AJ Styles during his match against Logan Paul at Clash in Paris. It will be interesting to see who Cena will face after wrestling Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza.
