3 WWE Superstars who could emerge as John Cena’s opponent for Survivor Series on RAW

Last week's episode of WWE RAW was a historic night for John Cena, as he officially achieved the status of a Grand Slam Champion. He defeated Dominik Mysterio to finally win the one title he has never won in his iconic career, the Intercontinental Championship.

Being at the tail end of his retirement tour, The Franchise Player is set to make his final RAW appearance tonight, ahead of his penultimate appearance at Survivor Series. Hence, it's likely that the Stamford-based promotion might utilize this opportunity to book an opponent for him at the upcoming premium live event.

Now, let's explore three WWE Superstars who could emerge as John Cena’s opponent for Survivor Series on tonight's episode of the red brand.

#3. Dominik Mysterio could challenge John Cena

Last week on RAW, Dominik Mysterio interrupted John Cena during his promo segment at the opening segment of the show. As a result, Triple H made an impromptu Intercontinental Championship defense official for Dominik, which led to him dropping the title to Cena.

Given this situation, there is a great possibility that 'Dirty' Dom might request a rematch for the IC Title, since he wasn't prepared for the championship bout last week. If that happens, it's unlikely that The Franchise Player would compete tonight. Hence, the showdown could be scheduled for Survivor Series.

#2. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio appears to be another WWE Superstar who could emerge as John Cena’s opponent for Survivor Series. Considering Rey's recent appearances in the Stamford-based promotion, it's likely that he might return to action sooner than expected after being sidelined with an injury earlier this year. If this is confirmed, he could return to the ring at Survivor Series.

The creative team might pull the trigger on this move by having the WWE Hall of Famer face off with John Cena on tonight's episode of RAW, possibly challenging him for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series. Since Rey Mysterio has a storied history with John Cena in WWE, running it back with The Franchise Player for one last time would make it a must-watch match.

#1. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is one of the top superstars in pro wrestling. Hence, booking him to face John Cena at Survivor Series will perhaps generate huge excitement from fans, possibly spicing up Cena's retirement run, which has seemingly been in jeopardy.

The OTC has been off television after losing to Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel: Perth. However, rumors have it that he might make his return tonight on RAW, ahead of Survivor Series. If this happens, the creative team might have him enter into an exciting program with The Franchise Player to set the stage for a showdown at the upcoming event in San Diego.
