REPORTS: John Cena Could Make Huge WWE Return Soon

Published 05/22/2021, 8:00 AM EDT

With WWE announcing its return to live events, the thought of John Cena returning becomes increasingly likely. The sixteen-time champion teased his return to the company, and the wrestling world cannot stop talking about it. However, there’s now a huge update that foreshadows the return of WWE’s biggest star.

Could we really see John Cena back in WWE?

We last saw John Cena in the excellent Firefly Funhouse match alongside Bray Wyatt/The Fiend. While the match wasn’t a means to write Cena off forever, he’s showed signs of interest in another run. However, that could be because of movies like F9 and Suicide Squad, one of which is already out in theatres.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Newsletter Observer, WWE is discussing Cena’s return and there’s merit to the rumours. With SmackDown being the first show to have a live crowd since March 2020, seeing a big name like Cena return wouldn’t be out of the question.

The sixteen time World Champion is the kind of name you want to draw crowds back into the arenas. UFC has done it with two incredible cards featuring Usman vs Masvidal and Oliveira vs. Chandler. WWE needs a marquee wrestling show to deliver on the scale of the aforementioned events, and of course, WrestleMania 37.

A rivalry with Bobby Lashley on Raw, or renewing hostilities with the Tribal Chief on SmackDown? We could see Cena return in any capacity, but we can’t wait to have him back.
