10 HUGE Predictions For WWE's Road To WrestleMania 39
3. John Cena’s Showcase Gets Real
The Rock's inability to free up space on his hectic Hollywood schedule will almost definitely stop him from even guest-hosting this year's 'Mania. Does the same go for WWE 2K23 poster boy John Cena? Maybe/maybe not, but 2K chiefs would likely do cartwheels if JC was in town for the pay-per-view.
They'd be dribbling all over the place if Cena was working a match on the show, especially if that could be used as a hype vehicle for his Showcase Mode in the new game. What if this is already the plan? What if Cena vs. Austin Theory will be included on-disc in 2K23 and then play out in real life come WrestleMania.
That'd be rather trippy.
Theory is desperate to lock horns with 'Big Match John', and has been for quite some time. Cena, for his part, has always flirted between kayfabe'd annoyance for his younger model and real-life admiration for his skills. They're natural opponents in SoFi, and WWE has a video game to shift.
