John Cena made his WWE television debut in June 2002, confronting Kurt Angle and showing "ruthless aggression." Cena went on to become a 16-time WWE Champion and one of the biggest stars in WWE history.
Cena is set to embark on his retirement tour in 2025, wrestling his final matches for the company.
Speaking to MuscleManMalcolm, Angle was asked for his pick to face Cena in his last match.
"Probably Roman Reigns. Knowing where Roman was when he started. I remember a promo where John put him in his place. I think they would have a good storyline coming up if they decided to have the last match Cena vs. Roman. For John Cena's credit, it should be for the World Title. He's won 16 World Titles in WWE, no one have done that before. Ric Flair won 16, but he did with NWA, WCW, and WWE. John Cena has won 16 titles in WWE. No one has ever done that. I think he deserves a title shot," said Angle.
Angle had his retirement match at WrestleMania 35 against Baron Corbin. He previously stated he wanted to face Cena in his last match.
Cena is set to appear on the first episode of WWE Raw on Netflix on January 6, 2025.
