The Last Time is Now Tournament of John Cena is set to kick off on the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW, as confirmed by WWE. Adam Pearce has already revealed four names who will be competing in the tournament, leading to exciting matchups like Rusev vs Damian Priest and Sheamus vs Shinsuke Nakamura.
On the upcoming SmackDown, Nick Aldis will follow suit and pick a few names for the tournament. Let’s take a look at five potential names that the National Treasure could select:
1. Solo Sikoa: Despite a lack of proper booking on SmackDown recently, Solo Sikoa has the potential to shine in the Last Time is Now tournament. With a previous victory over Cena, Solo could be a strong contender in the competition.
2. Aleister Black: Aleister Black is currently embroiled in a rivalry with Damian Priest on SmackDown. His inclusion in the tournament could further intensify their feud and lead to some exciting matchups.
3. Drew McIntyre: After failing to capture the WWE Championship at SNME, Drew McIntyre is in need of a new direction on SmackDown. His entry into the Last Time is Now tournament could provide him with a fresh opportunity to showcase his skills.
4. Uncle Howdy: With a strong connection to Bray Wyatt, Uncle Howdy could make a return to WWE and be a surprise entrant in Cena’s tournament. His absence from SmackDown makes him a possible wildcard in the competition.
5. The Miz: The Miz has expressed his desire to be part of John Cena’s retirement tour, and his history with the 17-time World Champion makes him a likely candidate for the Last Time is Now tournament. Nick Aldis may choose The Miz as one of the participants on SmackDown.
Overall, the Last Time is Now tournament promises to be an exciting event with a mix of established stars and potential new contenders. Stay tuned to see how the tournament unfolds on RAW and SmackDown.
