John Cena Promo

Well, it is official. John Cena has at last tied the all-time record for world title reigns in WWE. After winning his 16th championship at the Royal Rumble this past Sunday, Cena has joined the likes of Ric Flair at the very top. This is a long time coming for Cena, as he has not held a world title since 2014 where he won it at the annual Money in the Bank pay-per-view. He had to defeat the phenomenal one, AJ Styles in order to do so. Styles, a man who had beaten Cena a total of three times in 2016.

They may choose to open the show with Cena on Tuesday night and perhaps have Orton come out after. After all, this is Cena we are talking about here. He will come out in an attempt to hype up the crowd. Will he be greeted with boos or perhaps a “you deserve it” chant? Cena will likely call out the field for the elimination chamber. My prediction is that he will be joined in the ring by a large group of superstars who are all looking to vie for his WWE Championship.
