John Cena's last match opening SNME - Check out Why!

In this special event, the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will face Oba Femi in a Champion vs. Champion match. Femi already defeated Ricky Saints to win the NXT Title and eventually got the match against The American Nightmare.

Although Oba is a strong star and has defeated major names, Rhodes is still predicted to secure the victory. Rhodes is a World titleholder, and there's no doubt WWE will put him over Femi in this exhibition match.

#3. AJ Styles & Dragon Lee could retain the title

AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are set to defend the World Tag Team Championship against Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater. Although Je'Von is receiving a major push in the company, SNME is unlikely to feature this title change.

Styles and Lee are more likely to retain their World Tag Team Titles, especially after The Usos returned to the tag team division and confronted the champions. Also, the rivalry between AJ and Dragon with The New Day is still unfinished.

#2. Gunther could retire John Cena at WWE SNME

Gunther has already retired Goldberg and defeated him in his retirement match. Given the momentum The Ring General has on his side, he is expected to defeat The Franchise Player in this final bout. The former Imperium leader has already asserted to make Cena tap out at SNME.

So, a tragic ending might be waiting for The Cenation Leader's fans this Saturday.

#1. The Rock could return to shock everyone

Ahead of Saturday Night's Main Event, a wild theory is circulating on the internet that suggests The Rock may return at the special show to confront John Cena. WWE has also shared this theory on its official website.

At Elimination Chamber, Cena turned heel and sold his soul to The Final Boss. Around SummerSlam this year, the Last Real Champion became a babyface star, but he has yet to confront the People's Champion.

So, a return of The Rock at WWE SNME and not letting Cena retire might unfold at this special event.
