A long list of WWE superstars, from rising talents to legends, has expressed their desire to face John Cena during his farewell tour next year. Among them is WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, who recently added his name to the list.

Cody Rhodes is often seen as the next John Cena, sharing many similarities with the Leader of the Cenation. Both are workhorse champions who respect their competition, never back down from a challenge and are especially loved by younger audiences.

Lately, when Cody Rhodes was at the FanaticsFest NYC, he was asked about facing John Cena next year. To which Cody Rhodes answered, “We get to live in this era; he’s definitely a man of his word. When he says it’s farewell, it truly is farewell. If you have the farewell tour t-shirt, go and get it; this is it. I drove John around for a year and I learned everything I possibly could.” 

He further said, “Didn’t realize I was learning so much at the time. It would be the honor of my life to wrestle John Cena in any capacity. He’s the GOAT for a reason,”
