If WWE decides to endRoman Reigns‘ title reign crowingCody Rhodeswith the Universal Championship, The American Nightmare would certainly need help from a legend andCena’s help seems most likely in this scenario. Also, The Undertaker might just be perfect in the situation as The Rock has made it clear that he wouldmake it hellish for Rhodes, in fact, already did. Butwhere does The Texas Rattlesnake fitin the story? Anywhere, he might help The American Nightmare and then bless him with a Stunner, in a classic Stone Cold style.
