John Cena's Rumoured Next WWE Feud Revealed
The 16-time champion could be heading straight back into the WWE Title picture.
As announced on last week's SmackDown, John Cena will make his official WWE return on the blue brand's July 4th episode. It'll be his first appearance since WrestleMania 33 (2 April), when he and Nikki Bella defeated The Miz and Maryse, before Cena proposed to his partner in the middle of the ring.
The 16-time World Champion's imminent comeback has naturally provoked rumours on who he'll feud with upon returning, with the latest speculation suggesting he'll head straight into the WWE Title hunt, and clash with Jinder Mahal.
'The Maharaja' is set to defend his belt against Randy Orton at Money In The Bank this Sunday. Given the anti-American gimmick he has been using lately, having him interrupt a patriotic Cena return promo on Independence Day should be easy heat, as pro-USA rhetoric has been part of Cena's babyface character for years.
There's no word on whether or not Cena should be expected to break the record he currently shares with Ric Flair by winning his 17th World Title. Regardless, WWE will likely be hoping that overcoming Orton and feuding with Cena will legitimise Mahal as champion, and bring credibility to his much-maligned reign.
