#2 - This could probably help Cena become a 17 time WWE Champion
It is no secret that the WWE wanted John Cena to become the 17 time WWE Champion at last year's WrestleMania after he would have defeated Jinder Mahal (the then WWE Champion). But as we all know that plan was dropped and instead we got a John Cena vs the Undertaker match at WrestleMania 34.
To make Cena a 17-time champion is a thing that will always be in the creative team's minds and they would like to make the most of Cena's remaining time in the WWE by making him a 17 time WWE Champion. So, the only way they can do this right now is by inserting John Cena in a feud with Daniel Bryan and let him take the title from Bryan at the Royal Rumble PPV.
