An NXT star has pitched to be the final opponent for John Cena, labelling himself as the future face of WWE.
Cena only has five appearances left on his WWE retirement tour, with his next being at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia on October 11, where he will face AJ Styles.
His final match will be at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, which hasn’t been officially announced but is reportedly planned for Washington, DC.
Speaking on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, current TNA World Champion and NXT star Trick Williams suggested he should be the man to face Cena in Cena’s final match if Cena wants it to be a passing of the torch moment.
Williams said:
“To be honest with you, I can’t think of one man better for the job than me.
“We’re talking about a guy who put the business on his back for a long time, and his last match needs to be with a guy who can handle that weight, who can handle that pressure.
“We’re talking about the future, we’re talking about the guy that’s gonna be carrying the brand for a long time, 10+ years in the game in the future – I am that guy.
“Undoubtedly, undeniably, I am the future of WWE. So if John Cena wants to pass the torch forward to a guy who can carry the weight, Trick Williams is that guy.”
