John Cena will face Austin Theory at WWE WrestleMania 39

After winning the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble match, Cody Rhodes will face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. Meanwhile, Cena will challenge Austin Theory for the United States Championship at this year's Show of Shows.

In his interview with AP News, Cena disclosed why he is working with Theory.

"You would be surprised at my answer. Because that's what I was told would happen. I don't do that. I don't say, 'I want to do this. I want to work with that person.' I don't ever do that. I've never done that. I just try and do what I'm told to do and do it to the best of my abilities. Instead of dictating my terms, I often just try to make the performance the best it can be. What I don't do and what I've never done is curate the direction of the narrative. I don't pick opponents, but I love to tell stories. I didn't pick Austin Theory but I certainly spoke from the heart [on RAW]."
