10 Potential WWE WrestleMania 37 Opponents For John Cena

Admittedly, this is a harder pitch.

It's only really here because Daniel Bryan didn't win the 2021 Royal Rumble. He's pretty rudderless right now, and is likely to be part of some throwaway match in Tampa anyway. So, why not mimic what Cena did with The Undertaker several years ago and have Bryan call him out?

Dan has already spoken about how his WWE (and indeed entire pro wrestling) career is coming to a natural end. Before he hangs up the boots though, he'll realistically fancy one more major WrestleMania moment. Who better to have that against than a guy who also has nothing going on but played a huge role in Bryan's past?

The company don't need to turn either man heel to make this work either. They can book Bryan to needle Cena, and build a natural tale of competitiveness between two guys who sat on opposite sides of the pro wrestling/sports entertainment divide for so long.
