WWE will promote the Roman Reigns-John Cena WrestleMania 33 match as a battle of generations and a potential passing of the torch. A major storyline point will revolve around whether or not John Cena - who will only be a few weeks shy of his 40th birthday - still has what it takes to lead the company. Fan reaction heading into the match will be difficult to gauge - neither man is a favorite of the hardcore crowd, but anti-Reigns sentiment will actually cause some older, hardcore fans to support Cena. That will carry into the match itself, where "Let's Go Cena!" chants will surprisingly fill the stadium. The Champ will fight, but Reigns will ultimately be too much for him to handle. After a second Spear, he'll put Cena away, capturing the WWE Championship for the fourth time. As the audience boos loudly, Reigns will celebrate with the title. Cena will get in Reigns's face and demand a handshake. The new champion will comply, and Cena will raise Reigns's arm... then level him with a clothesline. As the show goes off the air (and as the fans scream with glee), John Cena will viciously beat Roman Reigns to a pulp.
