Coming out of WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs (and stairs), it has been established that John Cena will meet Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble next month while Roman Reigns also returned to the company.
Cena defeated Seth Rollins in a Tables Match at TLC to establish himself as the No. 1 contender to "The Beast's" title at the Royal Rumble on Jan. 25 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Cena had dealt with constant interference from Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble throughout the bout, but was able to thwart them off. Cena had also placed Rollins through a table when the referee was knocked out when Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment on him, but the referee missed it.
Cena and Rollins then also went through a set of tables simultaneously, drawing out two other referees that had differing opinions on who the winner was.
The referee then opted to re-start the match, which led to The Big Show coming out to attack Cena. Reigns then made his return to thwart off Show and speared him through a table before nailing the Superman Punch on him.
Cena then hit the Attitude Adjustment on Rollins through a table to win the match.
Cena vs. Lesnar at the Royal Rumble will be the third time these two Superstars meet each other on pay-per-view during Lesnar's current stint. Lesnar defeated Cena for the gold at SummerSlam in August then lost to him by DQ at Night of Champions in September after interference by Rollins.
Reigns declared in an interview after his run-in that he is entering the 2014 Royal Rumble Match.
Reigns, who is the Superstar of the Year, is rumored to face Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. on March 29.
