6 Potential John Cena Matches for WWE WrestleMania 40 | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Yeah, Cody Rhodes has to "finish the story" against Reigns.

But there's a story with Cena, too.

The two men have a notable history with each other and a lot of respect shared between them. The American Nightmare's quick ascension to challenge Reigns at 'Mania 39 even spoiled a reported internal push to have him face The Champ.

So, why not now? It doesn't necessarily feel like Rhodes will head for Reigns again, especially after that recent appearance by The Rock. And a lot can happen between now and next April, such as WWE veering to a different Reigns-centric angle, like a Sikoa, LA Knight or even Seth Rollins.

Technically speaking, Rhodes feuding with Cena would be a downgrade after his big return from All Elite Wrestling. But not really, and going from a huge feud with Brock Lesnar to potentially retiring the WWE legend at 'Mania would make for quite the highlight reel of a year.

If a match at WrestleMania 40 is one of Cena's last, if not the actual goodbye, it's hard to name more Superstars who should be doing the deed.
