John Cena is set to retire from in-ring competition in less than a month. The Cenation Leader will make his final WWE Premium Live Event appearance at Survivor Series: WarGames this Saturday, where he defends the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio.

That said, a recent exchange on X (FKA Twitter) has made fans speculate about The Last Real Champion pulling off double duty in San Diego this weekend. John Cena has never participated in the WarGames Match in his career, something many wanted him to do at Survivor Series.

The storyline also made sense, as Brock Lesnar is on the opposite team, someone who scored a one-sided victory over Cena at Wrestlepalooza. Fans were disappointed with the anticlimactic conclusion of their rivalry, and many believe The GOAT should get his redemption against Lesnar.

Interestingly, Paul Heyman was recently asked to comment on John Cena's match at Survivor Series. The Oracle believed fans would see the greatest John Cena Survivor Series appearance they have ever seen. The Franchise Player responded to Heyman's comments on X (FKA Twitter), writing "Respect."

Heyman's comment and this interaction have made fans believe that Cena will pull off double duty at the upcoming PLE. The 17-time World Champion is known to deliver on grand stages, earning himself the nickname 'Big Match John.' With Survivor Series being Cena's final appearance on a WWE Premium Live Event, he could go all out and compete twice in one night. This would certainly do justice to Heyman's claim of "the greatest John Cena Survivor Series appearance."

The GOAT is likely to drop the IC Title back to Mysterio, and the creative team may not want the veteran to lose his last match on a PLE. Therefore, adding him to the Men's WarGames Match could potentially allow The Last Real Champion to end his PLE career on a winning note.

That said, this is just speculation for now. Only time will tell if Cena checks another box in his career before retiring by competing in the Men's WarGames Match this Saturday.

John Cena could replace Jimmy Uso in the Men's WarGames Match

If the creative team wants to add John Cena to the WarGames Match, they could do it by having him replace Jimmy Uso. Big Jim could be attacked by The Vision before the match, leading to his removal from the team due to being unable to compete.

Cena could step up as a last-minute replacement for Jimmy and join the babyfaces in the five-on-five bout. It would allow The Franchise Player to conclude his rivalry with Brock Lesnar and share the ring with some of the biggest stars in WWE one last time.

That said, this is just speculation for now, and nothing has been confirmed.
