10 Best Opponents For John Cena At WWE WrestleMania 33

7. Bobby Roode

A match with John Cena would be a glorious way for Bobby Roode to make his main roster debut.

If we’re being honest, Bobby Roode is not someone WWE will build around long-term. Like A.J. Styles, and John Cena, he’s 39 years old. He’s a great worker, and hasn’t taken a ton of crazy bumps, so you can imagine he still has a few years left as top-level worker, but he's just not a face of the company type act.

A Cena/Roode match wouldn’t need to be booked to position Roode as one of the top stars over the next few years, but would be used as a way to give Cena a feel good win at WrestleMania. That outcome is not as insult to Roode in the least, as a match of that caliber is something that would have seemed out of the question for him a couple years ago.

You can imagine, unlike some other NXT callups, that Vince McMahon will actually really like Bobby Roode and want to invest in him a bit. He has an old-school wrestling style, and he has a fantastic entrance that the boss will likely have some fun with. He also has a ton of experience and wouldn’t feel out of place in a big match at Mania with the right build behind him. He’s a reliable worker and would be sure to create a compelling heel/face dynamic with Cena and be able to put over the man clean without losing anything in the process.

There’s certainly worse ways for Roode to make a living than by battling the top draw in the industry over the past decade at the biggest show of the year.
