10 Potential WWE WrestleMania 36 Opponents For John Cena

8. 'King' Corbin

After warring with Roman Reigns for what feels like 17 years over on SmackDown, the esteemed 'King' Corbin will need something new to sink his teeth into. It's not a stretch to imagine the wounded royal coming out of his cage bout with Reigns at Super ShowDown and immediately targeting a legend.

John Cena fits the bill.

Corbin retired Kurt Angle at last year's WrestleMania, and it'd be in-character for him to fire out a similar challenge to Cena in 2020. Lose, and John would be banished "forever" from the WWE realm (at least until everyone forgets that stip and he fancies another big payday). Win and he'd get to embarrass the 'King' like everybody else.

Despite raising the ire of social media whingers everywhere, Corbin is a solid heel who's Teflon and useful to WWE's bookers. He can be written into almost any scenario without worries for the future, because he's so easy to hate. Those boos will keep coming, and they'll drown out any Cena haters.
