Have you ever eaten a shoddy side of fries?

You're hungry, and so you power through, skillfully avoiding the wettest, most undercooked offerings. After a while, because you're still famished, that wet, rejected potato suddenly becomes more appetising than the real dogsh*t - that bit of potato that, retaining the almost translucent quality of the raw vegetable, so clearly hadn't even been plunged into the oil.

That wet, undercooked fry is John Cena, who suddenly seems not too bad in comparison to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins at their awful, over-pushed Top Babyface worst. His schedule is rammed, but there's every possibility that, at the height of the Wild Card, Two Out Of Three Falls, We Are F*cking Clueless Here Lads Era, McMahon made the call to Cena for a proper 'Mania run as a safety net. Cena being a major star would land on FOX - AEW ratings depending, of course - and so would face The Fiend at WrestleMania.

His promos in the build might look a little something like this:

"Hey, Huskus the Pig Boy. No, not you: Bray. Pig Man. Slipknot called: they want their mask back. If you're taking orders from a puppet called Abby The Witch, I guess that must make you Flabby The Bitch. You see, at WrestleMania..."

Probability: 55%
