3. Grayson Waller
Grayson Waller has been messing up with the veterans of the company since his debut. He messed up with Shawn Michaels in the NXT, AJ Styles, Edge, Rey Mysterio on SmackDown and even Cena at the Money in the Bank. He might confront Cena again and will get punished one more time.
2. Austin Theory

Austin Theory defeated John Cena at WrestleMania 39 and retained the United States Championship in a cheap way with a bite and a low blow. He might confront Cena by claiming himself as the greatest one as he pinned Cena. Theory will be confronted by Rey Mysterio and Escobar resulting in an impromptu match between Theory and Escobar.
1. Imperium
John Cena might be confronted by Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci of Imperium as they are the opponents for Cena and Rollins at Superstar Spectacle the following week in India. As superstars from Raw and SmackDown are said to move on the other brands, they might likely confront Cena to set the hype among Indian fans.
