John Cena Rules Possibility For A Rematch Against Randy Orton

John Cena is currently on his retirement tour from wrestling and the WWE, and he has been showcasing the utmost commitment with his heel character. Cena became a 17-time world champion, eclipsing Ric Flair to become one of the greatest champs in the realm of wrestling. Cena's farewell tour has already commenced, which features him as a champion and makes regular appearances in the shows. While he looks to have some iconic match in his final wrestling run, Cena has ruled out the possibility to face off against one of his classic rivals, Randy Orton.

“On the WWE side, we’re just taking them one at a time. We did our last one in St. Louis. I had my last match with Randy Orton, and that was pretty cool to call, kinda put a close on that 25-year rivalry.

“So, it’s, you know, as every chapter happens, it’s a different feeling for everyone,” John Cena said to Entertainment Tonight.

Who Will Face John Cena Next?

After John Cena successfully defeated Randy Orton, an interesting storyline has been brewing lately. The Unseen 17's next opponent would be R-Truth, who considers the champion as his childhood hero. At the backlash post-show, Cena hit an AA on Truth and then did the same in a sit-down interview with Wade Barrett.

After the attacks, it has been determined that R-Truth would face off against John Cena, and it would be an emotional match-up for Ron when he would face his childhood hero in singles action.
