Among the other attractions of WrestleMania Night 1, the one that has caught the good attention of fans is the bout between John Cena and Austin Theory. The current storyline between the two has hyped the wrestling fans like anything. They were imagining the match to be one of the headline acts of the event. However, that’s not the case in reality.
It’s official now that Theory will face his ‘childhood hero’ in the squared circle, that too at WrestleMania. The 25-year-old has already planned to replace Cena’s hometown energy with his special crowd. And now with each passing day, the hype is attaining new heights. But the recent announcement by the company has disheartened many.

But now Cena is set to open WrestleMania 39, a feeling his fans are not too familiar with. Indeed, Big Match John headlined five WrestleMania main events in his tenure as an active performer and this news update has certainly not gone down well within Cenation.
They are pretty annoyed by this decision of the company, as it doesn’t make any sense to them.

A few of them also came up with their own hypothesis that talked about how The Prototype must have a shoot to go to. And that’s the reason behind this early match.
