3 better replacements for Sheamus in John Cena's tournament than the Miz 

WWE superstar Sheamus was unfortunately injured and was replaced by The Miz in the Last Time is Now tournament. The company had given this second opportunity to the A-Lister, as he was out of the first round after losing to Jey Uso.

However, a section of fans also feels that the company could have zeroed in on some other superstar as Sheamus' replacement rather than The Miz. There were a lot of superstars in the locker room who wanted to work with John Cena, and they could have been considered.

In this listicle, we will discuss three better replacements for The Celtic Warrior than The Miz.

#3 Rey Mysterio

Since Rey Mysterio returned to action just two weeks back, he was the perfect replacement for Sheamus. The Hall of Famer has a long association with John Cena. The two have been there since 2002, and it would have been an emotional moment for the fans to see the Master of 619 win the tournament and then compete against Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event (SNME) on December 13, 2025.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is another superstar who could have been a better replacement for Sheamus. Although McIntyre did engage in a brawl with John Cena, that was in a tag-team match on SmackDown three months back, with McIntyre teaming up with Logan Paul against Cena and Cody Rhodes.

The Scottish Warrior deserved a one-on-one match with John Cena. He could have been given this chance as Sheamus' replacement rather than The Miz. The A-Lister had already been given a chance, and the company should have given a thought to Drew McIntyre once.

#1 Bron Breakker

If John Cena wants to put over any young superstar in his last match, then who could have been a better option than Bron Breakker? The Badass is one of the hottest superstars on the roster. He is lightning quick inside the ring and is looked upon as the next big thing in WWE.

John Cena has earlier put over younger superstars like Austin Theory, Solo Sikoa by putting them over at big events. If the company had picked Bron Breakker as Sheamus' replacement instead of The Miz, then The Badass would have certainly been backed by the fans, and Cena would have happily put him over.

Moreover, he certainly had bigger chances of making it to the finals of the tournament than The Miz. It now remains to be seen who goes on to win the tournament and face John Cena in the finals at SNME on December 13, 2025.
