3 Surprises That May Happen on SNME - John Cena's Final WWE Show

John Cena's final match in WWE will be more than just a wrestling match. It's not just the 17-time WWE Champion donning his wrestling gear for the last time; it's one of the biggest WWE icons drawing curtains to his glorious career in the company.

Chief Content Officer, Triple H, has previously said that Cena's last match will be a spectacle to watch. In a way, Hunter stated that John Cena's match might have a few things that the fans won't be expecting.

In this listicle, we will discuss three surprises the fans can witness at SNME.

#3 John Cena wins against Gunther

Gunther won the final match against LA Knight, winning the Last Time is Now tournament. He will now face Cena at SNME. And it's expected that Gunther might beat Cena, similar to how he defeated Goldberg at SNME, five months back. In a way, this match is being taken as John Cena passing the torch to Gunther in his retirement match.

Cena has put over several superstars in the past, so it won't be a surprise if he does this time, too. However, Triple H can surprise the fans by booking John Cena to win the match against Gunther.

This would be quite astonishing, but it's possible. John Cena, so far in this retirement tour, has lost matches against Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar, and Dominik Mysterio. Maybe WWE would not want Cena to lose his last match, leaving his fans disappointed.

Moreover, Cena winning the match would also not hurt Gunther's prospects in the company. The Ring General is already a credible superstar, and a loss at the hands of a WWE legend won't cause any damage to his reputation.

#2 The Rock returns

There is a high possibility that The Rock will return at SNME and have a face-off with John Cena. Not only was The Rock instrumental in leading to Cena's heel turn earlier this year, but the two have also had a storied rivalry, almost a decade ago in WWE.

It has been quite perplexing so far that The Rock didn't show up at WrestleMania 41 when Cena won the Undisputed Championship. It was also surprising that he didn't show up at SummerSlam either when Cena dropped the gold to Cody Rhodes. Despite being so immensely involved with Cena's heel storyline, The Rock hasn't shown up in WWE since Elimination Chamber 2025.

However, he is expected to come back to SNME. Maybe Rock can turn babyface himself, after a segment with Cena, or maybe he may just show up to shake hands with The Champ and leave. It will be interesting to see how WWE books a face-off between the two WWE legends.

#1 Cody Rhodes loses to NXT Champion after Drew McIntyre interferes

Another surprise of the night could be Cody Rhodes losing a match to either Ricky Saints or Oba Femi at SNME. The two NXT superstars will clash at the NXT Deadline on December 6 for the NXT Championship, and the winner will get to face Cody Rhodes at SNME. The match was confirmed by The American Nightmare himself on SmackDown tonight.

However, the twist in the tale could be Drew McIntyre taking out Cody Rhodes and costing him the match. That would add fuel to the fire and make the storyline between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre more interesting. The Scottish Warrior is currently suspended, and SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis hasn't lifted the suspension. He was in the arena tonight, but Aldis asked him to leave, Before that, Cody Rhodes attacked McIntyre. The American Nightmare has now asked Aldis to reinstate McIntyre, so that the two can finish their story once and for all

It remains to be seen how WWE books the match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre.
