WWE fans were quick to connect the dots when JohnCena hinted that his The LastTimeIsNow tournament might include names from outside WWEbut new reports confirm that one of the most talkedabout names isnt even on the table.
According to FightfulSelect, former WWE star and current AEW standout AdamCopeland (Edge) has never been part of any internal discussion for Cenas farewell run.
The clarification comes after Cenas recent promo sparked widespread fan theories that WWE could be teasing a forbiddendoorstyle appearance from AEW talent such as Copeland or ChrisJerichoboth of whom share a long, storied history with the 17time WorldChampion. WrestlingObserverRadio even noted that WWE was deliberately teasing AEW names to fuel fan interest, even if those matchups were never actually realistic.
With WWE heading into Cenas final bout on December13at SaturdayNightsMainEvent in WashingtonD.C., the company is clearly embracing nostalgia to make the sendoff feel massive. But the idea of an AEW crossoverno matter how fun to imaginejust isnt on the table.
Still, the strategy is working. The speculation around who Cena will face in his last match has driven fan conversation online and built anticipation for what WWE promises will be a monumental night.
