Breaking: John Cena Officially Enters The 2018 Royal Rumble Match

John Cena has posted the following on Twitter announcing he is officially entering the 2018 Royal Rumble match:

A sunny morning on the first day of 2018. Possibilities are endless, opportunities are plentiful. Time to #EarnTheDay because on January 28th, I’m entering the #RoyalRumble match and earning a chance at history @WrestleMania! #Raw

— John Cena (@JohnCena) January 1, 2018

WWE.com has an article up right now confirming Cena’s entry as well as discussing his chances at victory, history in the Rumble match and repercussions if he were to win as a “free agent”.

You can view WWE’s article HERE. You can find an excerpt below:

The 2018 Royal Rumble is almost upon us, and this afternoon, 16-time World Champion John Cena started off the new year by announcing, via Twitter, that he is entering the 2018 Royal Rumble Match for the opportunity to compete for his record-breaking 17th World Championship Match at WrestleMania 34.

Not only is Cena tied with two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair with 16 World Titles, but he also holds the distinction of winning two Royal Rumble Matches (2008 and 2013). Can The Leader of The Cenation claim his third victory and once again challenge for a world championship at WrestleMania? And, considering his free agent status, would he take on the Universal Champion or the WWE Champion if he did reign supreme?
