For the past several years, John Cena has stepped to the side, somewhat allowing some of the newer talent to enjoy the benefits of success in the WWE. Meanwhile, he's been filming movies, television shows, appearing on various programs and so on.
Cena has been busy, despite his limited WWE workload. Don't get me wrong, John has still remained relevant on WWE programming, he just hasn't saturated the scene as much as we have been accustomed to. Well, many believe that's all about to change.

Let us not forget that elusive sixteenth title reign which Cena is destined to catch, in order to tie the record set by Ric Flair. This is something that we will see set into motion sooner than later. The Royal Rumble could very well be the launching pad for Cena, as he goes after the record-tying championship reign.
Even in the event that Cena does not win the Rumble match, there's still the idea that a lot of fans have, which is to have Cena take on The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. This would certainly be an epic encounter. If this is to ever materialise, there needs to first be a seed planted.

Could we see that very seed planted in the Alamodome? All it would take is for John Cena to step up and be the one who eliminates ‘Taker in the Rumble match.
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
