I had said it for months. The only match John Cena should have is with Austin Theory. Have theory go over and have it be a passing of the torch moment.

Doesn’t need the title but damn would be a great match to defend that title specifically against Cena
— Rudy Seferin (@RSeferin) February 3, 2023
The fans were clearly divided into two groups, one who was cheering for The Champ and the other who supported the 25-year-old.
@JohnCena needs to return and show you who is truly RUTHLESS AGGRESSION! @_Theory1 you need a true wrestling lesson and cena should be the one to teach you that.

Apart from them, there were wrestling maniacs who came up with their own hypothesis of what can happen before the match, so Theory and Cena end up facing each other.
Seth Rollins wins the United States Championship at Elimination Chamber and defends it against Logan Paul at WrestleMania 39 freeing up Austin Theory for a John Cena clash without the restrictions of the title.
Almost everybody wins.

A disappointed wrestling fan even stated Triple H as the worst booker of the year after getting to know about the 16-time world champion facing a two-time United States Champion.
