Even though there's no opponent announced for Cena if he is in the ring, there's one person wanting to make it happen.

Cody Rhodes took part in a Reddit "ask me anything" Monday, and when someone asked if he would wrestle John Cena in the future, the "American Nightmare" said he wants it to happen.

"I asked John if he does one more ... to consider that match," Rhodes said. "If not though, I'm blessed to have been under his learning tree and shared a ring with him in the past."
