WWE TLC 2017: 5 Superstars who would be better replacements for Roman Reigns at TLC

#3 John Cena

Could Cena have returned to help The Shield?

John Cena was defeated by Roman Reigns back at No Mercy and later stated that Roman had earned his respect and was proud of how far he had come.

It would have been interesting if Cena had been the one called in to lead The Shield into one of the toughest challenges they have ever faced on Sunday night. Cena would have been the star power that WWE was looking for in this match since TLC was already looking like it could be a lacklustre card.

Cena obviously has a number of other commitments outside of WWE nowadays and perhaps WWE did put in the call and he was unable to make it, which is why The Shield were planned to be part of the show, to begin with.
