We are just months away from John Cena’s WWE retirement, and the tension is already heating up. The 17-time World Champion is set to face Logan Paul at Clash in Paris 2025, but all signs point to a bigger showdown against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza.
After Lesnar’s shocking return and brutal attack on Cena at SummerSlam 2025, speculation has surfaced that The Franchise Player might call in Omos, the 7-foot-3 Nigerian Giant, as his secret bodyguard to fend off The Beast Incarnate’s ambushes.
🔹 Why John Cena Could Hire Omos
👊 Omos in AAA: The Nigerian Giant has been competing in AAA due to the ongoing WWE-AAA partnership, keeping him active and in the spotlight.
📜 History with Lesnar: Omos previously feuded with Brock Lesnar ahead of WrestleMania 39, where he suffered defeat. He never got the chance for revenge, and aligning with Cena could bring that feud full circle.

🔮 Will It Really Happen?
While the idea excites fans, the scenario feels unlikely:
✨ Cena has firmly returned as a babyface star. Hiring a bodyguard could blur that heroic image.

✨ But… WWE loves surprises, and Cena’s retirement arc could easily include a shocking twist.
