According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is moving forward with plans for John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. While not officially confirmed, this appears to be the most viable option for Night 2’s main event in Sin City. That said, plans in WWE are always subject to change, and anything can happen on the road to WrestleMania.
Moreover, the report suggested that other than that, Jey Uso vs. Gunther and Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens are two potential clashes fixed for Mania this year. There are chances that Cena could win the Elimination Chamber match in Canada next month to punch his ticket for his last WrestleMania against The American Nightmare.
