Cena has been playing it off on TV like his path to WrestleMania is unclear at this point, but he earned a spot in the WWE Championship match at Fastlane when he defeated AJ Styles in the main event of SmackDown Live this week.
Of course it’s been rumored that Cena is penciled in for a match with The Undertaker this year, and a conflicting report regarding Cena’s opponent for WrestleMania recently indicated that match is still on.
One way or another it looks like we’ll be seeing John Cena on the Grandest Stage of Them All this year, and WWE officials seem to be working hard to find a worthy opponent for the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
