Here are four things that John Cena can do as the host at WrestleMania 42.

#4. Induct AJ Styles into the WWE Hall of Fame

Every year during the WrestleMania weekend, WWE hosts the Hall of Fame ceremony to honor legendary figures in the pro wrestling world. This year’s edition of the event will take place on April 17, right after that week’s episode of SmackDown, which will be the go-home show for ‘Mania.

Stars like Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and the Demolition, along with other legends, are set to be inducted this year. Styles was announced as an inductee on RAW in his hometown following his retirement.

AJ Styles and John Cena had one of the most iconic rivalries in the Stamford-based company’s history in 2016. It was a dream match that fans had been waiting to see for years. They had one final match against each other last year at the Crown Jewel PLE in Australia where Cena won.

Cena was the highlight of Styles’ career in WWE and could be the person who inducts the Phenomenal One into the 2026 class of the Hall of Fame.

#3. Celebrate with Je’von Evans

Je’von Evans and Leon Slater competed at Saturday Night’s Main Event show that featured John Cena’s retirement match. The Cenation leader has always praised young talent like Evans and continues to support them.

The Young OG is set to compete in the Men’s Intercontinental Championship ladder match in his WrestleMania debut. The match will feature stars like Penta, JD McDonagh, Dragon Lee, Rey Mysterio, and Rusev.

He is also one of the favorites to win this match, as the company is in dire need of established young stars on the main roster. Je’von Evans could beat the odds and become the new Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 42, and Cena could come out to celebrate with him.

The IC title was also the last championship that Cena held in his wrestling career. It would make a lot of sense for him to associate himself with the match’s result.

#2. Cost Gunther the match against Seth Rollins

After ending John Cena’s wrestling career at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December, Gunther has been on a run where he calls himself the “Career Killer.” The Ring General also retired AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. Styles was the one who challenged Gunther continuously as he kept disrespecting Cena on RAW.

He is now set to face Seth Rollins in a singles match on WrestleMania Saturday. The match was made official after Gunther attacked Rollins out of nowhere on RAW. Gunther is facing Rollins as a favor to Paul Heyman and told Heyman that he owes him one.

There is a chance that John Cena could interfere in the match to get back at Gunther for disrespecting him continuously after his retirement match. This would also help book Rollins as the winner without making the Ring General look weak.

#1. Surprise Hall of Fame Induction

Next year will mark the first edition of WrestleMania outside the United States of America. It will be hosted in Saudi Arabia and was announced last year by Triple H and associates from Saudi.

The Stamford-based company has a really good relationship with Saudi and will try to incorporate as many legends into WrestleMania next year as they can. WWE’s shows in Saudi usually feature a lot of appearances from veterans of the pro wrestling business.

To further increase the hype for the event, the entertainment juggernaut could announce that John Cena will be inducted into next year’s Hall of Fame class in Saudi Arabia. Every year, Hall of Fame inductees come out during WrestleMania and are honored under the bright lights of the event.

When that segment is taking place, one of the inductees could announce the first induction for next year’s Hall of Fame class, which would be none other than John Cena. The Last Real Champion could come out after the announcement to be serenaded by the crowd.
