The road to the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania, is about to begin with one of WWE's big four pay-per-views, Royal Rumble, on January 27, 2019.

With WWE Superstars announcing themselves for the Rumble match, it would not be wrong to say that Rumble fever has started to run wild in the WWE Universe. Well, one recent addition in the Royal Rumble match is the 16-time World Champion, John Cena.

John Cena announced himself for the men's Royal Rumble match this week on Monday Night Raw. And keeping WrestleMania 35 in the mind, it would be interesting to see what WWE Creative have in store for the Leader of Cenation at Royal Rumble.

So, without further ado, lets take a look at 3 possible plans WWE might have for John Cena in the Royal Rumble match.

According to the reports of Cagesideseats, John Cena is rumoured to clash with the Coquina Clutch master, Samoa Joe, on the red brand after Royal Rumble.

Thus, WWE might have Joe and Cena involved in a confrontation in the Royal Rumble match, layinng the crumbs for a potential feud after Royal Rumble. Given Joe features on the blue brand, we might witness Vince McMahon switching Joe to the red brand.

Cena is expected to return to Hollywood soon after Royal Rumble, a long feud looks a bit distant for now. However, with the duo rumoured to lock horns on the red brand following Royal Rumble, expect a major push for Joe after the Rumble.

Samoa Joe's impressive work as a heel against Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles garnered him a lot of praise. A mini-feud against John Cena could act as a launchpad for his career.
