#1 The elusive 17th world title
John Cena is currently tied on 16 world championships with Ric Flair. He has the perfect opportunity to win his elusive 17th title this year at WrestleMania. Cena won his 16th title in 2017, losing it just three weeks later to Bray Wyatt.
Cena winning the Rumble and facing a superstar who he has never defeated (Bryan) for his 17th World Championship reign, or facing a superstar who humiliated him (Brock Lesnar), will be a fantastic way to give Cena his championship.

A Rumble win will also put Cena ahead of the likes of Triple H, Randy Orton, etc, and tie him for most Rumble wins (3), alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin. Cena previously won the annual 30-man match-up in 2008 and 2013, going on to win the WWE Championship on both occasions.
