WWE SmackDown Preview: Goldberg finds WrestleMania 36 opponent, 16-time World Champion to return and face The Fiend? (February 28, 2020)

#4 John Cena returns to SmackDown

A WrestleMania feud on the cards?

On the Road to WrestleMania, it’s common for us to see the biggest names of the industry making their much-anticipated return to the WWE television. One such name is John Cena who will be appearing on this week’s SmackDown. The Champ’s last WWE appearance came all the way back in July, last year.

Cena had appeared on the RAW Reunion episode when he participated in a Rap battle with The Usos. Earlier, there were rumors which suggested that he will be facing The Fiend at WrestleMania 36 but the latter lost his title to Goldberg in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Although that would have given Cena a chance to become a 17-time Champion, it doesn’t look like he will be involved in a title feud this year.

There’s still a high chance that he will face The Fiend at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The Fiend has a reputation of changing something in his opponents after they suffer a defeat against him. In this case, his victory over Cena will push the latter to his dark side which will be convenient considering the fact that he is playing the role of a bad guy in the next Fast and Furious movie. As for The Fiend, a win over Cena at WrestleMania might make up slightly for his unfortunate loss against Goldberg.
