In what should be a very exciting conclusion to a historic pro wrestling career, John Cena has recently made his intentions known that he would like to hang up his boots following WrestleMania 41 next year. With that in mind, Xbet has gotten in on this historic occasion by offering wagering lines on who will be his final opponent at ‘Mania 41, along with some other match stipulations and also the lead-up to the contest. Per the main Xbet site, the current favorite to take on Cena at next year’s WrestleMania is none other than his old rival, Randy Orton (+100). As many fans are well aware, these two have had some amazing clashes over the years and this could be the perfect send-off for Cena. Conversely, there are two other Cena-related markets as well on the site which we will get into below.
In this report, SBS will be exploring the latest updates and analysis coming from Xbet along with some additional notes and information about the website.
According to the Xbet site, Orton is the leading favorite to take on Cena, and for good reason. Since their days squaring off in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), the two have traded the world championship on countless occasions and have had some incredible matches together. In the past, the two have feuded on multiple occasions especially after Cena won his first WWE Championship back in 2005. This includes his transition from a rapper archetype to a more “clean-cut, heroic” character as he led the company as its “franchise player” and public face from the mid-2000s to the late 2010s. Regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Cena has accrued a variety of accolades but also has notched multiple rivals and foes in the process.
One of the more intriguing betting markets here is if the current face of the company, WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes (+200) might take on Cena in perhaps a “passing of the torch” moment. The “American Nightmare” has had a sensational 2024 thus far, with the highlight of course taking down Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in an amazing main event. The Rhodes-Cena matchup would be a very interesting one as the two did match up against each other occasionally when Rhodes was first with WWE from 2006-2016. However, he is very much a different character now with notable stops in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
There are other notable names on this list, which include the likes of old Cena antagonists, CM Punk (+500), Bautista (+1500), and Kurt Angle (+1600). Moreover, Xbet has also included some interesting long-shot candidates as well with everyone from Stone Cold Steve Austin (+4000) to the Undertaker and Triple H (+5000) making appearances.
Per the main site, Xbet does have one betting market that goes over the proposition of whether Cena’s final match will be for a world championship. As of this article’s writing, the favored outcome here is “yes” at -160, while “no” registers at +125. A record 16-time world champion recognized by the WWE, Cena is regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Noted above, the man once known as “The Prototype” has also held the WWE Championship a record 13 times and the World Heavyweight Championship three times. Moreover, he has headlined multiple major WWE pay-per-views, including five times headlining its flagship event WrestleMania, per sources. In addition to these top championship accolades, he has also scored multiple tag team titles and is a five-time WWE United States Champion.
Also noted on Xbet, there is a betting market as it relates to the likelihood of Cena winning next year’s Royal Rumble event. Opposite of the world championship betting market, the favored outcome is “no” here at -400, with “yes” coming in at +300. In the past, he has won this awesome event twice, with his most recent win coming back in 2013. Of course, with so much time being elapsed, this could be an unrealistic scenario. However, there is some recent history here of an older star winning the event, like when Edge won the showdown back in 2021. Of course, recent history would favor more of a rising or established star in the company winning as opposed to someone on their way out, but there could be some more surprises in store for Cena.
