Several rumors are going around Cena's last outing at SNME. WWE Chief Operating Officer, Triple H, has already said that it's going to be a hell of a ride in Cena's last match. The fans are expecting some big surprises at the event.

In this listicle, we will discuss three rumors surrounding John Cena's last match at SNME.

#3 Former WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon's return

There are rumors that Vince McMahon might return for one night for John Cena's last match. Backstage, also, there is also a lot of chatter going around Vince's appearance. Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer recently said that the chances of McMahon's presence at SNME were increasingly "unlikely but not impossible."

Brock Lesnar's retirement date leaked? Check the details!

The former WWE Chairman hasn't been around for the past two years because of his alleged involvement in the Janel Grant lawsuit. However, he could be back for one night as he shares a special bond with Cena. McMahon was influential behind Cena's tremendous success in WWE after 2004. He had put faith in The Franchise Player then, and had pushed him as the face of the WWE.

The efforts paid off, and John Cena had a glamorous run in WWE for nearly a decade. In fact, Cena, despite all the controversy around Vince McMahon, hasn't shied away from backing him. He has acknowledged McMahon's role in his career and said that he loves him immensely. It won't be wrong to assume that it could have been Cena himself who could have pitched for McMahon's appearance in his last match.

#2 US President Donald Trump's presence

There are also rumors that US President Donald Trump could also be there at the Capital One Arena, in Washington, D.C, for Cena's last match. Trump, moreover, if he shows up, won't be making his first appearance in a WWE event.

He has been part of a sensational storyline, 'Battle of the Billionaires' back in 2007 at WrestleMania 23. However, he had been there in the capacity of a businessman. Today, he is the President of the United States of America.

Logan Paul also recently spilled the beans on Trump's appearance at SNME. During an interview with Fox News, Paul said that he and his friends have discussed the possibility of Donald Trump appearing at SNME. However, he said that there was no confirmation from either side.

If Trump appears, then it would certainly be a watershed moment in the history of WWE. A US President being there for a wrestler's last match would be a memorable spectacle.
