The match scheduled for February 1st at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is one in which Cena doesn’t just want to compete.

“I’m going to win the Royal Rumble,” he told the crowd.

Now, Cena mentioned that he would have a better chance of winning an Oscar than becoming a 17-time WWE Champion, which would be a record.

However, if he were to win the Royal Rumble, he would automatically receive a world championship match WrestleMania 41giving him a chance to make WWE history.

So, as Cena always says, never give up. It may be unlikely, but he seems determined to go out with a bang in his senior year.

It’s unclear how many events Cena will be attending this year, but his recent appearances have hinted at a pretty busy schedule in the coming months.

Cena was just one of the special guests on “Raw,” as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson opened the festivities before his cousin, Roman Reigns, defeated Solo Sikou to be crowned the one and only “Chief of the Tribe.” The reigning Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, also burst into the ring in a suit and tie to help clarify the madness of the match.
