WWE WrestleMania 33: 5 Potential Opponents for John Cena

4. Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman has risen up the ladder in WWE since the July brand split. He worked through jobbers, Sami Zayn, and is now diving into the top of the Raw roster. This includes encounters or matches with Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. Goldberg even did an assisted spear on him.

If Strowman is going to have a big match at WrestleMania 33, it probably will not be with any of Owens, Jericho, Rollins or Goldberg because of who they will be involved with. That leaves Reigns, is a match with the Mountain of a Man a path that WWE wants to go down so soon?

When there is a monster heel lurking around the WWE roster, SmackDown’s John Cena typically jumps in to face them. It happened with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 30 and Rusev at WrestleMania 31. This time around, it may be Strowman at WrestleMania 33.

It would be the classic Cena feud. He goes against someone who no one can defeat, but when it comes to him, he will stand the greatest chance at winning due to the “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” motto his character goes by (do not forget the “overcoming of the odds”).

Would going back to this same format be interesting? Maybe so since Strowman has improved enough to where he could hold his own in a feud. In a potential WrestleMania match with Cena, though? That may be a stretch and a potentially hard sell for fans to want to get behind a story they have soon plenty of times.
