The rumours started when Cena posted the WWE logo on his social media. Fans put 2 and 2 together and assumed Cena was returning to the ring soon. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

“I posted that back in May. I was feeling rather nostalgic about the WWE and I just wanted to post the logo. Some people took it as I was returning immediately which that’s not the case.”

However, John Cena confirmed that he will definitely return, if not for numerous but one important reason.

“I haven’t had my last match and I can’t wait to have my next one.”
