The inevitable matchup between John Cena and Roman Reigns will take place at the upcoming No Mercy PPV. It is going to be the first Raw-exclusive PPV following the Summerslam PPV, and the company has already shaped up this event to a must-watch thing. As per general thoughts, No Mercy is considered to be a less important PPV in WWE Calendar.
To change the norm, the company is supposed to leave no stones unturned. Hence, they have already added the marquee match between Cena and Reigns into the card. Plus, there will be a first-ever Brock Lesnar vs Braun Strowman match to get contested for the Universal Championship. It will be yet another mouth-watering bout for the WWE Universe.
Several speculations are running around the rumour mill about the outcomes of the Cena vs Reigns match. The latter one if the favourite to defeat the 16-time world champion at the Raw-exclusive PPV. It will be a putting-over process for the newer franchise at the hands of the former face of the company.
Plus, according to the reports of the DirtySheets.net, there is another factor will work for Reigns’ favour, for sure. John Cena is set to take a hiatus from the WWE following the No Mercy PPV. Most probably he is going to shoot the Transformer series spinoff: BambleBee which was announced, earlier the year. It is said to be the movie which might earn some fame to the Cenation leader to the mainstream audience.
Once he returns to the WWE, it is expected that he will go back to his original home brand of Smackdown Live. It might take place, later this year or the beginning of the next year. According to the source, John Cena will indulge into a feud against the current WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal on that time span.
However, this time, the hiatus is not going extend for long, and he might come back for a rematch against Reigns at the TLC PPV in October. In that case, he will swipe the brand once the return match gets over on the Raw-exclusive PPV in October. In this case, the creative heads will stick to their plans of making this feud a stretched one.
