With John Cena's retirement tour in WWE nearing its end, many have questioned who his final opponent will be. One particular star, according to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, could have been a good pick if he wasn't already fumbled by his booking.

The star being talked about is Jacob Fatu, who took the active scene by storm after arriving last year. Since then, his explosive speed and talent in the ring have quickly established him as an outstanding name. He later won the United States title from LA Knight, but eventually lost it to Solo Sikoa.

Speaking on Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated that Fatu might not be in the creative department's good graces right now. He said:

"I don't even know if he is in the doghouse now or not. God the only one is, if you'd have continued to have him rolling rolling rolling rolling and the people would get behind him, would be (Jacob) Fatu. But even now they've, they've taken the belt off of him, he wasn't on the show last week. So that's why I am saying there is nothing..." [4:06 onwards]

Vince Russo also crossed off another potential WWE opponent for John Cena

According to Vince Russo, Bron Breakker is also unlikely to be a good opponent to end John Cena's retirement tour.

Speaking on the same episode of Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:

"I don't think so, bro, I don't. God, I swear to God, and I said this from day one. This guy's freaking name alone is gonna hold him back. I don't think, listen, he is a solid, solid, solid, solid player. Is he main event? I look at him right now, and I don't see that man. I just don't see that. I see a very strong, you know, generic wrestler. I mean, that's what I see."

For now, fans can only stay tuned to see who Cena's last opponent will be in the future.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
