Legendary 20-time WWE champion to retire John Cena at WrestleMania 40? Analysing why it must happen!

Since John Cena made his return to WWE, fans have poured in plenty of love for the legendary superstar. During his ongoing run with the Stamford-based promotion, Cena has been part of several memorable moments. While the 16-time world champion teamed up with LA Knight to defeat The Bloodline, Cena is now looking to register his first singles win since 2018.

At Crown Jewel 2023, John Cena is expected to face Solo Sikoa in a singles match. While this contest would probably be Cena's last in his current run with WWE, the match could hold great significance. At the Saudi-based premium live event, the Stamford-based promotion could begin planting seeds for Cena's retirement at WrestleMania 40.

If WWE books Randy Orton to return at Crown Jewel, The Viper's comeback could lead to a possible rivalry with Cena. Orton could return and cost Cena his match against Solo Sikoa. While Cena will most likely go back to acting after the PLE, closer to WrestleMania 40, he could make his return and confront Orton for costing him an important victory.

While the angle is speculative, if it happens, Cena on his return near WrestleMania 40, would receive a great pop. The match between the duo would also make sense if it were Cena's retirement match, as the 16-time world champion has shared a long history with Orton. The Viper would be the perfect man to give Cena his farewell.
