Could Sami Zayn Become John Cena's Final Rival?
Former WWE star Matthew Rehwoldt recently made a significant statement on the "Rebooked Wrestling Podcast." He suggested that, similar to Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 30, Sami Zayn could be the perfect opponent for Cena, creating a compelling storyline. Rehwoldt believes Cena might want to elevate new talent in his final run, and Sami Zayn could be that opportunity. However, this hinges on Sami Zayn defeating CM Punk at WWE Night of Champions.
