Rumor: New Name Emerges as Potential John Cena "Wrestlemania" Opponent

Well, it’s certainly different. As we head towards New Orleans for “Wrestlemania XXXIV”, one of the big questions marks is John Cena. At the moment he doesn’t have a match and if what he said on “Monday Night Raw” is any indication, the Undertaker match is off the table. However, a new report suggests that there may be a very surprising opponent for Cena and it’s quite a big name….in a way.

You might have heard of this guy (as he’s jumping out of the sky).

According to a new tweet from “Sports Illustrated’s” Justin Barrasso, Rey Mysterio was backstage at this week’s “Smackdown Live” to discuss a possible “Wrestlemania XXXIV” match with Cena. Mysterio appeared in the 2018 Royal Rumble and recently said that talks with WWE were ongoing. The two of them have faced off in a big match before, with Cena taking the WWE Championship from Mysterio on “Monday Night Raw” in 2011.

Opinion: Works for me. I’m not wanting to see Cena vs. Undertaker after last year’s amazing retirement and it would be cool to see Cena in something close to a dream match. Mysterio is certainly a big name and a match with Cena on the big stage wouldn’t feel like a letdown. This has potential and I’d be very happy if it came together.

They do have a history together.
