Sometimes WWE posts something on social media that feels like a deliberate dig at former WWE Superstars. For example, the social media team put up a reel where John Cena and AJ Mendez aka AJ Lee are kissing!

Now, of course, they put it up as a Valentine’s Day post to celebrate the day of love. Considering almost everything inside the ring is about rivalry and fights, the few moments of love are cherished by the WWE Universe.

But, maybe WWE could have chosen any other moment such as Lana kissing Bobby Lashley, Beth Phoenix kissing The Great Khali, or even Kurt Angle kissing Stephanie McMahon. None of the above have beef with WWE the way CM Punk does.

On the days when he wasn’t on TV, Cena worked in dark matches. In fact, he worked in a couple of dark matches after SummerSlam 2021. As of now, he’s not actively working with WWE anymore.

It’s unknown if he plans to come back anytime soon considering his Hollywood schedule is quite packed. After the huge success of The Peacemaker series, he’ll start shooting for the movies that he has already signed contracts for.

However, there’s a higher chance of him returning sometime in the future. John Cena doesn’t want to leave WWE or retire from the ring until he’s worked his official retirement match.
