5 returns we must see at Royal Rumble 2017

#3 John Cena

First stop on his road to 16 world titles?

Smackdown seems like the B-Show without John Cena’s presence. It’s actually gotten so deprived of stars, that James Ellsworth now main events the show on an almost weekly basis.

While we do know that John Cena has other commitments outside WWE right now, we also know that he’s likely to pick up his 16th title win at Wrestlemania 33 this year. There’s no better way to make his big WWE comeback than for it to be at the Royal Rumble.

Like him or hate him, Big Match John is a big name and he sells tickets. Like Dave Meltzer mentioned in the latest edition of ‘Wrestling Observer Radio’, even the House show attendance numbers have gone down since Cena went on his hiatus.

Whether or not he actually wins the Rumble is another matter. But we wouldn’t mind seeing him stare down The Undertaker, potentially setting up a Wrestlemania match. Hopefully, for the title!
