John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar's Best, Worst and Most Likely Wrestlepalooza Outcomes

Wrestling fans were stunned to learn that WWE's newest premium live event would be called Wrestlepalooza, but the show is shaping up to be memorable, as the company has become increasingly obsessed with counterprogramming AEW.

As a result, WWE is treating secondary shows as if they were marquee events to draw fans away from the competition. One of the biggest matches added to the card is another chapter in the war between John Cena and Brock Lesnar.

Here are the best, worst, and most likely outcomes of the Cena vs. Lesnar battle at Wrestlepalooza.

Best-Case Scenario

The WWE Universe has seen battles between Cena and Lesnar for over a decade, but this will likely be their final matchup, with Cena scheduled to retire from in-ring competition in December.

The best-case scenario for the Wrestlepalooza outcome would be a hard-fought battle between the two veterans, culminating in interference from another wrestling legend, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Johnson has a history with both Cena and Lesnar, so his appearance in the middle of the match when both competitors are laid out in the middle of the ring would be intriguing. Eventually, The Rock would attack Lesnar, setting the stage for Cena's victory.

After the bout, Johnson should attempt to raise Cena's hand, but he should tear it away, openly questioning where The Rock has been for the last several months since his heel turn. Johnson should then attack Cena, setting the stage for the final match in Cena's career against The Rock.

Worst-Case Scenario

The worst-case scenario for the Wrestlepalooza main event would be Cena simply overcoming the odds once again and winning. Super Cena is a trope that has frustrated fans for so long, and there is always a chance he'll just win.

After the impact Lesnar has made since returning, taking the loss with no interference would be the worst way to book the outcome of this match.

Cena is about to walk away from wrestling, while Lesnar will likely be used as a part-time Superstar for the foreseeable future. The Beast losing to a man who is retiring is a terrible usage of both performers.

But Super Cena stealing the victory is a real possibility, whether or not it's true.

Most Likely Scenario

The most likely scenario at Wrestlepalooza is Cena losing in a hard-fought battle against Lesnar, leaving him to rebuild quickly before the final matches of his career.

Cena's last WWE appearances are scheduled for November 10 in Boston, November 17 in New York City, Survivor Series on November 29 in San Diego, and December 13 during a special Saturday Night's Main Event. Putting over Lesnar before heading into the final bouts will provide him with one final obstacle to overcome.

The biggest story of Cena's career has been overcoming the odds, despite being one of the most successful performers ever. For years, his character feigned adversity, and he will do it once again on his way out of WWE.

The WWE Universe is tired of the Super Cena act, but wrestling fans have to experience it one more time before it's over.
