WrestleMania 40 is being built up as the grandest show of the year as this will be the first time that the TKO brand will be under the control of things taking things over from the previous Vince McMahon-regime.

The upcoming premium live event in April is being dubbed as the Biggest WrestleMania in the history of WWE. While the card is yet to be finalized, hypes around the show have already been created with the presence of The Rock.

That being said, WWE has some intense storylines and exciting matches in the pipeline for the Showcase of Immortals despite the road bumps in form the absence of the likes of CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Charlotte Flair.

The Rock had to be included in the WrestleMania XL situation to make up for the absence of these names but he won't be the only big Hollywood name to make his presence felt as WWE is trying to secure his successor in the company.

16-time World Champion John Cena has now been dragged into the conversation as he's also being planned to be a part of the premium live event. His previous commitments might not let it happen, easily but WWE will have no stone unturned to make it happen.

In the latest, Ringside News was told by a tenured member of the creative team that WWE is trying to get John Cena on board for WrestleMania 40. The capacity of his appearance is yet to be revealed.

It was further noted that him being in action might not be necessary for the appearance but that WWE wants to book Cena in for the Biggest Event of the Year 'to do something'.

That being said, John Cena's presence at WrestleMania XL can't be ruled out completely despite the previous reports claiming that he won't be appearing due to his movie commitments. His recent visit to the WWE PC could also have some connection with it.

The former franchise player of the WWE is inching closer to his retirement days as admitted by him during an appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, where he relived his journey to WWE stardom and then in Hollywood.

During the conversation, John Cena also shed light on his retirement from WWE. His current belief is that he could continue wrestling until the age of 50 and that his career can't be extended beyond that age limit.

"I think I can make it to 50, but I don't think I can make it past 50. I think that at 50 - if we don't plan [another event] - I just have to tweet: 'I'm out. Hashtag: see ya."
