We are almost 30 days away from one of the biggest WrestleMania in the history of WWE, WrestleMania XL. The stakes are at an all-time high and the card is stacked against Cody Rhodes this time. While he has some support from Seth Rollins, the duo has to face Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson if they want to defeat Roman Reigns. Considering how big of an entity Johnson is in the sports entertainment industry, fans want to see someone who is an equal match to him. The first choice by many is John Cena. However, it looks like fans might get to see The Rock vs John Cena 3.0 very soon.

The Rock vs John Cena 3. o at WrestleMania XL?

The Leader of the Cenation was present at the latest episode of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon for the promotion of his upcoming R-rated comedy, Ricky Stanicky. Fallon took the opportunity to ask the Hollywood star about a recent Instagram post made by him in which He-Man could be seen with his enemy, Fisto. Fallon asked that many people are thinking that this is a hint that Cena will be facing Johnson at WrestleMania XL. The 16-time world champion then went on to clarify the speculation. Cena made it clear that it is something that no one knows when will happen. “They are gonna keep talking until it happens. We don’t know yet.”

He stated that since Johnson is so adamant about main-eventing WrestleMania 40, Austin should act as the counterweight in this situation. Camp also mentioned that there shouldn’t be any fight between the two, but the mere idea of Austin having Rhodes’ back will change everything. Who would you like to see at WrestleMania 40? Steve Austin or John Cena? Or someone else? Let us know in the comments below.
