Furthermore, Barrasso is reporting Mysterio has been discussing a major match at this year’s PPV in New Orleans, against John Cena.
Cena won a match tonight on WWE Smackdown against AJ Styles, and will be inserted into the main event of WWE Fastlane, making the match now a Six Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship. With current WrestleMania plans calling for AJ Styles to face Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Title at WrestleMania, that would leave Cena open for a match:
