Current reports have John Cena competing at WrestleMania 35, but there's no word on who the 16-time World Champion might face.

He'd have made an ideal opponent for Kurt Angle's retirement bout. Given that Cena's main roster career started with a famous, spirited defeat to the Olympian, it'd bring their characters full circle, giving the 50-year-old a near-poetic ending to his 21-year career. A match with R-Truth had also been rumoured, as the former United States Champion has spent the past few months singing the praises of his apparent "childhood hero." Neither are on the card, though.

Dave Meltzer claims WWE do have a Cena bout pencilled in, though they are yet to determine his opponent. A curious move, given that they now have less than two weeks to concoct something memorable for one of their biggest names, who's still somebody you'd expect Vince McMahon and co. to prioritise at the most important show of the year. Regardless, there's every chance that Meltzer has this one wrong. Cena might miss WrestleMania for only the second time since his 2002 debut.

Whatever happens, we probably won't know until the night itself.
