On 30th December 2022, WWE booked Austin Theory for a cage match against Seth Rollins in Toronto, Canada (WWE Live Holiday Tour). However, officials cancelled that match for the above-mentioned segment.

This indicates that the segment must be crucial from WrestleMania’s point of view. Moreover, there haven’t been any booking reports of John Cena for WrestleMania 39. So, it could be possible that officials are considering him for a US title match. 

However, some people also believe that the segment was just for the WWE 2K23 promo, which is set to release in March 2023. Well, all these are just speculations.
