On Monday, November 10, John Cena will officially kick off The Last Time Is Now tournament to decide who will face him in his final-ever WWE match. His opponent will be chosen via the winner of a 16-person tournament, with stars from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and maybe even some from outside of WWE expected to take part.

WWE super-fans cannot wait to watch it unfold, and we already know Rusev, Damian Priest, Shinsuke Nakamura and Sheamus are the first four confirmed, which will air on Monday night raw

Potential shock surprises

And if the whispers are true, Triple H and the WWE could be cooking up a much bigger surprise though - a potential showdown between Cena and The Rock. The Final Boss has been suspiciously absent from Cena's Farewell Tour, fueling rumors that WWE may save him for the grand finale. It would be peak WWE for The Rock to, quite literally, rock up and interrupt Cena's final match. That could pave the way for the Washington DC bout to turn into a legendary multi-match, as Cena entertains his beloved WWE crowd for a final time.

So which WWE superstar is going to step up to the plate? The Casino Guru team have now outlined the latest odds:
