John Cena possibly getting a title match at Wrestlemania 41

The exact specifics regarding John Cena’s retirement tour are still under wraps but PWInsider’s Mike Johnson added fuel to the rumor mill by revealing that internal talks are there about him potentially challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 in April.

This update aligns with The Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s previous update which stated that WWE has discussed an idea for WrestleMania 41 involving John Cena and it calls for him to be involved in either the World Heavyweight Championship or the Undisputed WWE Championship match,

“We do know that the idea of Cena challenging one of the two champions, in an effort to have him break Flair’s record is something strongly talked about, including for Mania.”

With John Cena being tied with Ric Flair at 16 world title reigns fans are wondering if WWE will give the former franchise player to have his 17th reign during this farewell tour. Per the critics and the fans, this should happen as he’s the most deserving candidate.
