According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t WrestlePurists ), WWE's original plans called for the WWE Championship bout between John Cena and Cody Rhodes to be the main event of Night 2, potentially with the inclusion of a stipulation.

John Cena, the man who once carried WWE on his back for over a decade, is now in the middle of what's being called his "farewell tour." As emotional as it's been for fans to watch him wind down, the excitement around who might be his last-ever opponent is just as intense as the matches themselves.
