John Cena has 16 world championship title reigns, which tie him with WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair for the most titles ever won by a wrestler. Since Cena is plotting his leaving strategy, one of the storylines that makes sense is him winning the Championship title, surpassing Flair's record count, and then having a title contest in his farewell match.
Randy Orton, who has previously stated that his dream match would involve him versus Cena in a title fight at WrestleMania, may be an excellent competitor. But will this scenario pan out? It is subject to witness.
