In 2021, Finn Balor was preparing for his title match against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. In the lead-up to the event, Reigns and Balor were part of a contract signing on SmackDown. Wrestling fans are well aware that WWE contract signings always end in disaster and chaos. And so, as Balor motioned towards signing the contract, Baron Corbin emerged out of nowhere and attacked Finn Balor, eliminating him from the equation.

While Corbin thought he would steal Finn Balor’s spot for a crack at Roman Reigns’ Universal Title, John Cena made his way to the ring and took out Corbin. Cena then proceeded to sign the contract with a big Sharpie pen. Finn Balor expressed his apprehension ahead of next week’s contract signing, recalling the incident from two years ago.

Finn Balor says he would be angry if John Cena steals his thunder again

John Cena recently made his one-off surprise return in London at the Money in the Bank. The sixteen-time Champion made a huge announcement before taking out Grayson Waller. Although Cena is one of the most loved and hated superstars, his returns elicit a huge pop. Looking back on how John Cena injected himself in a match against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021, Finn Balor said he would be “pis*ed” if he shows up again next week on Raw.

Balor is gearing up for his second shot at Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship. Despite losing to The Visionary at MITB, Balor asserted himself in another title match after attacking Rollins on Raw. Taking to Twitter, Balor stated, If @JohnCena shows up again I’m going to be pissed!”

By the looks of things, John Cena’s return is highly unlikely, as he is completely immersed in his Hollywood career. On the other hand, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor need to settle their score in their final grudge match.
