As John Cena returned to the Blue brand after a long hiatus from the company, the leader of the Cenation talked about his future in WWE.

Cena acknowledged that the fans want a new generation of wrestlers to make their own mark at this point in time. So in an effort to let the young guns "earn" their own WrestleMania moment, Cena stepped down from this year's WrestleMania card altogether.

He said this was the right thing to do, and it is goodbye for now. As John Cena made his way to the stage for one final bow, the lights went out to signal the arrival of The Fiend.

The Fiend appeared behind John Cena. The rumors came true when Bray Wyatt's alter-ego pointed towards the WrestleMania sign and Cena would accept the challenge immediately.

As it turns out, John Cena will not just be doing "something" at WrestleMania 36. The leader of the Cenation will face the most unique gimmick WWE fans have seen in years.

From a critical standpoint though, it is hard to digest that The Fiend has shown signs of diplomacy since his defeat against Goldberg. If all of this happened several months ago, The Fiend would have decimated Goldberg after their match, and Cena would have suffered the same fate during their initial confrontation.

But for what it's worth, John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt has the potential to be an amazing program for both parties involved.
