Push for Edge or The Rock to Be John Cena’s Final Opponent

John Cena’s retirement tour will be coming to an end in less than two months and fans are speculating about his final opponent. While nothing has been announced yet, a case has been made for Edge or The Rock to be Cena’s last opponent.

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Peter Rosenberg talked about who would be the best choice for John Cena’s final opponent. He explained that Edge stands out as Cena’s greatest rival, especially during the height of Cena’s career when he was the top babyface champion.

Rosenberg said that while fans might name The Rock or CM Punk, Edge was the perfect opposite of Super Cena and helped define that era.

Rosenberg added that among all possible opponents still active, Edge makes the most sense, even more than Batista. However, he admitted that it’s unclear if a match with Edge could happen.

“Edge is the guy. I mean, again, I don’t know exactly what his deal is. I know there’s been some speculation that it could be up, maybe.

Yeah, of the ones that could happen, of the ones that are remotely possible, Edge would be the one. Listen, it’s Edge or Randy for John’s top opponent of all time. Sure, I know people can say Rock, and there’s Punk, and there’s good reason to say them both, but to me, peak John Cena — true champ babyface Cena, Super Cena — Edge was the foil, and Edge was such a great foil.

So to me, of the ones that are out there, that exist, even more than Batista, it should be Edge. But again, we just have no idea.”

Rosenberg also mentioned that he wasn’t fully satisfied with Cena’s last big moment with The Rock and felt there’s only one way to make it right: a final match with The Final Boss. He said that another match between The Rock and Cena would perfectly tie everything together and give the story the closure it deserves.

“I mean, listen, I absolutely adore the man, and he’s doing an incredible job. I was not satisfied with that moment. There’s only one way to clean that moment up. That moment can only be cleaned up with The Rock. That’s the only way you can make sense of it all — if Rocky and John go one more time. Otherwise, I just don’t see what we’re going to do, because I agree with you.”

We have reported that John Cena is currently scheduled to face GUNTHER in his final match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th in Washington D.C. To make matters even more interesting, The Rock even had a hand in booking the final match.

Whether John Cena’s final opponent ends up being Edge, The Rock, or GUNTHER, his last match will mark the end of an era. So we’ll just have to see who will end up squaring off against the Leader of Cenation once and for all.
