5 booking options following John Cena's return to WWE

John Cena is finally returning to the place he started, WWE. Cena is slowly and steadily following in The Rock's footsteps and becoming a mainstream actor in Hollywood. Cena's latest movie, a Transformers spin-off called 'Bumblebee' released last weekend.

John Cena has already cemented his place in the history books as one of the greatest superstars in WWE. He is one of the few wrestlers left in the industry today, who can call himself a "superstar".

John Cena's return is always seen as a major moment and leads to a spike in TV ratings for WWE. A strong return for the leader of Cenation will mean great storytelling leading to WrestleMania.

Cena returned in 2016 to feud with AJ Styles, in 2017 to feud with Roman Reigns and in 2018, to feud with The Undertaker. One can safely assume that his next return will be once again an interesting prospect.

#5: Feud with Bray Wyatt

Cena and Wyatt have past unresolved issues

John Cena will be returning soon, but another superstar who's on the verge of return is Bray Wyatt. Wyatt has not been seen on WWE television since late August, while Cena's last appearance was at WWE Super Show-Down in October.

Both the superstars will be looking for a fresh and hot feud for their return, and a confrontation between them will be an interesting storyline.

Both these superstars had a major rivalry around five years ago, but will be an entertaining battle nonetheless.

Cena and Wyatt are two great characters and have tremendous ability with the microphone. The promos between them will be highly engaging and make for must see television.

Imagine Wyatt bringing back his Wyatt Family(Luke Harper and Eric Rowan), to face John Cena! That will surely make headlines!

#4: Pursuit of record-breaking title reign!

Cena v Bryan will be an entertaining battle of two engaging persona

John Cena has won a record 16 world championships in WWE. His last run with the world title was over two years ago, which he lost to Bray Wyatt at Elimination Chamber. Cena will be looking to finally win the elusive sixteenth championship and surpass the long standing record of Ric Flair.

With Brock Lesnar scheduled to face Braun Strowman at Royal Rumble, John Cena could set his sights on Daniel Bryan's WWE Championship. Daniel Bryan and John Cena have had some brilliant encounters in the past, and could reignite their rivalry once again!

The "new" Daniel Bryan has defeated AJ Styles on two different occasions and is currently in a mini feud with Mustafa Ali. John Cena could very well be the next challenger for the WWE Champion, and will make for an interesting rivalry.

#3: One final hurrah for The Undertaker

Cena ending the Deadman and putting his career to rest will be fitting

John Cena clamoured endlessly for a match with the Undertaker throughout the first half of 2018. He called out the Deadman every single week on RAW, and finally got the match that he wanted at WrestleMania.

However, one of the most awaited matchups ended in a one-sided squash victory for the Undertaker, and Cena has not appeared on weekly WWE programming ever since.

Cena will be looking to exact revenge for the humiliation handed to by the Deadman. A Career vs. Career match between the two legends of the business will be a major moment in WWE.

It will make for a major headliner for Wrestlemania and get the WWE Universe talking. Fans from all generations will be interested in this matchup, which could very well be the final time we see the Undertaker on our television set.

#2: A rivalry sixteen years old

John Cena v Samoa Joe will blow the roof

Samoa Joe debuted in WWE in 2017, but started in professional wrestling along with John Cena back in 2002. Both these superstars had similar starts in their careers, but their never paths never crossed with each other.

A feud between Samoa Joe and John Cena was teased in January this year. However, an injury to Joe resulted in those plans being shelved.

Samoa Joe is finally fit and healthy for a proper feud with John Cena, and WWE must capitalise on this opportunity. Both these superstars are arguably the best promos in the company.

A feud between them will be a fantastic moment and will lead to a dream match between the Destroyer and Cena.

Samoa Joe has lost some of his credibility after several losses against AJ Styles. He will become a mega superstar in the eyes of WWE Universe, if he manages to defeat John Cena.

#1: A Trifecta of Royal Rumble victories

John Cena is one of the few superstars to have won the Royal Rumble matchup twice in his career. He won his first match in 2008, and the second one in 2013. John Cena is once again returning during the Royal Rumble season, and will most likely announce his entry into the Rumble match.

As mentioned earlier, Cena is on the verge of becoming the most decorated WWE Champion in history. Sitting at a record 16 title reigns, he would like to become the most crowned superstar sooner rather than later.

Cena entering in the Rumble match and winning it for a third time, a feat matched only by the Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin, will be a historic moment and will make major headlines.

Cena vs. Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the title is a major possibility, since Roman Reigns is currently out due to injury.
