It looks like WWE has decided against the talked about Samoa Joe vs. John Cena match at WrestleMania. Joe is being programmed with Seth Rollins for the Fastlane pay-per-view in March.
So, the question is, who does John Cena face at WrestleMania? On Tuesday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that the impression he was given was that Cena’s match will not be something that will be celebrated and it’s not something that is necessarily “good news.”
Randy Orton is scheduled to challenge for the WWE Championship and AJ Styles is rumored to be facing Shane McMahon so the only two top heels left on the brand are Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. I doubt we’ll get Cena vs. Ziggler but considering how they are pushing Corbin as of late, I wouldn’t be shocked if they announced him as Cena’s opponent. Cena defeated Corbin in a Smackdown Live TV match just a few weeks ago.
By the way, there’s no word on who Samoa Joe will face at Mania.
