5 Potential Last-Minute Replacements For John Cena At WWE Royal Rumble
2. The Undertaker
It's almost WrestleMania season, and that generally means one thing: it's time for The Undertaker to re-remerge. The 'Demon of Death Valley' always makes his presence felt at this time of year and, at this point, he's probably just waiting for WWE to make the call and tell him when and where he needs to be. So, what better way to replace a major star like John Cena than by turning to perhaps the biggest WWE star of all time?
While 'The Deadman's recent in-ring work may not be up to the impossibly high standard that it once was, he can still put on a solid performance in a short amount of time, so you can rest assured that he could be relied upon to eliminate a few people, work a memorable spot or two and, most importantly, captivate the audience.
'Taker appeared in the Rumble match as recently as 2017, and though he didn't stick around for long, he managed to add some much-needed star power and got the crowd completely invested in the match. There's no reason that he couldn't do the same again this year.
