John Cena’s potential Royal Rumble appearance sparks transformation rumors
Recent reports suggest John Cena could make a significant appearance at the Royal Rumble, possibly marking a character evolution after two decades. PWInsider notes that WWE is exploring a potential WrestleMania 41 matchup between Cena and Cody Rhodes.
The timing coincides with what could be Cena’s final WWE run, as he pursues a record-breaking 17th world championship. His last villainous role ended in October 2003, making any character shift particularly noteworthy during this phase of his career.
This program would represent Cena’s first major storyline since transitioning to part-time status, with his rumored Royal Rumble participation potentially laying the groundwork for future developments.
