WWE personality predicts Jey Uso as John Cena's final opponent and explains the reasoning

The "Next Tribal Chief" has been tipped to be John Cena's final opponent by a WWE personality. With just five dates remaining on his retirement tour, John Cena is going to the end of his in-ring career. There has been a lot of speculation on who will face him in his final fight.

Some have suggested the idea of Cena fighting Brock Lesnar and conquering him one final time, while others think a match with a youngster would be the appropriate way to go out.

However, on the NotSam Wrestling podcast, analyst Sam Roberts said that WWE's backstage correspondent Megan Morant picked Jey Uso to be Cena's final opponent.

"Megan Morant has proposed something that I find very, very interesting. She's proposed that it is none other than main event Jey Uso that gets this opportunity. And listen, there's a lot of reasons to support that. Number one, there's a symmetry and a poetry to the idea that John Cena's first match of his final year was the Royal Rumble, and Jey Uso is the person that eliminated him in the last spot from the Royal Rumble. Jey and John shared the ring in John Cena's final Royal Rumble in his first match back this year," he said.

Sam Robers added how that elimination from the Rumble set the wheels in motion for Cena's heel turn. He then discussed why it would make sense for Jey Uso to face the 17-time world champion in his last fight.

"It creates a scenario for Jey Uso to take those steps forward if being the next Tribal Chief is what he wants to do. I mean, coming off of Monday Night Raw and coming off of that ending, especially Roman looking at him and saying, "This is all yours. F them all,'" he added.

Date confirmed for John Cena's final WWE match
