At Money in the Bank 2024, John Cena surprised the WWE Universe as he unveiled his retirement plans. The Champ will embark on a 12-month farewell tour in 2025, with the upcoming Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41 set to be his last appearances on the high-profile shows.
Cena was the Franchise Player of the Ruthless Aggression Era and is widely considered to be one of WWE's biggest stars. The 16-time World Champion has also had a successful acting career in Hollywood. Therefore, as a recognizable figure for the general audience, he has become a mainstream attraction.
Considering that his time with WWE is winding down, Triple H may want to get extra creative with the ways he uses Cena during The Champ's farewell tour. In a bid to enhance the company's footprint in mainstream culture, the Chief Creative Officer could use Cena's influence to attract celebrities to create magical moments.

#4. John Cena may cross paths with Jake Paul during his feud with The Maverick
A recent report by WrestleVotes claimed that WWE has Logan Paul planned as a marquee opponent for Cena during the latter's upcoming retirement tour. As two polarizing stars with widespread cultural influence, the dream match could be a spectacle.
However, The Maverick does not play by the rules, and will likely occupy the role of a cowardly heel in this scenario. Therefore, he could enlist the help of his brother, Jake Paul, to gain an unfair advantage over Cena.
Although most of his friends have been commonly used to pass brass knuckles, Jake Paul could be used in a more important role. The Paul brothers could team together for a tag team feud with John Cena and a mystery partner.
The mystery partner could be Randy Orton. Orton and Cena are true friends with immense respect for each other. The Viper will not shy away from helping the 16-time World Champion.
Triple H could also use the Tag Team feud to build towards the rumored John Cena vs. Randy Orton clash when Orton shockingly betrays Cena.
#3. Cena could also come face-to-face with iShowSpeed
While Logan Paul may benefit more from having his brother as an on-screen ally, The Maverick has often relied upon his friends from YouTube to support him at ringside.
iShowSpeed accompanied Paul to the ring at WrestleMania XL dressed in a Prime bottle. The YouTuber also took an RKO for his troubles. However, The Maverick retained the US Championship.
Judging by the bump he took at 'Mania, iShowSpeed is not afraid to interact with WWE Superstars. Hence, he could also interact with John Cena during Cena's rumored feud with Logan Paul. When that happens, he will likely be on the receiving end of an Attitude Adjustment.
#2. Gabriel Iglesias
Renowned stand-up comedian Gabriel Iglesias is a massive WWE fan. His love for the product has also translated into some intriguing roles in the business. In addition to attending as a fan, Iglesias hosted the WrestleMania 39 Launch party and hyped Royal Rumble 2023 backstage.
Therefore, the comedian is a proud member of the WWE family. If Gabriel Iglesias and John Cena are in the same building, Triple H could book them in an entertaining backstage segment.
If WWE wants to take things a step further, Cena and Iglesias could team up to take down a mid-card heel in the middle of the ring.
#1. John Cena and Cristiano Ronaldo are the ultimate dream team
Last year, news broke out that WWE was trying to secure famed football player, Cristiano Ronaldo, for Crown Jewel 2023. There were murmurs that Ronaldo would interact with John Cena, who faced Solo Sikoa on the same show.
However, those plans never came to fruition as the company couldn't grab hold of the legendary football player. On the bright side, WWE showing interest in Ronaldo could lead to something bigger down the line.
The company will have similar events in Saudi Arabia next year. Although it is a stretch, John Cena and Cristiano Ronaldo could be booked for the same show. An interest in bringing the two has already been shown, and if the opportunity presents itself, Triple H will capitalize.
