The 16-time World Champion John Cena is one of the biggest stars of WWE. It turns out he might be back soon for a programming. He has been away from the company since his match against Roman Reigns last year. The long-tenured WWE commentator Michael Cole recently teased the return of WWE legend John Cena during the latest episode of SmackDown.
John Cena might return to face Austin Theory
It has been about a year since John Cena wrestled in his last match. Rumor has it that Cena will return to WWE in the near future to set up a match with Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39. On tonight’s episode of SmackDown, Theory took on former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre in singles action. A distraction from Otis and Chad Gable led to McIntyre winning via DQ.
During the match in question, veteran announcer Michael Cole had the following to say about Theory:
“No doubt Austin Theory is one of most talented we have seen in a while. He could use an Attitude Adjustment though.”
Michael Cole’s tease was clearly a reference to John Cena’s iconic finishing move, The Attitude Adjustment. John Cena and Roman Reigns have been compared by the fans on multiple occasions given the babyface run in the company. Cena returned to WWE last year to challenge Reigns for his title at last year’s SummerSlam. Fans thoroughly enjoyed the feud between the two. The rivalry also saw some intense promo battles.
In the end, The Tribal Chief defeated Cena and retained his title in the main event of WWE SummerSlam last year. ‘The Head of The Table’ is seemingly unstoppable and has been the champ for over 700 days.
John Cena also recently set a new Guiness World Record through the Make-A-Wish foundation. Guinness World Records reported that Cena set a new world record for the most wishes granted through the non-profit organization, granting 650 wishes to date – the most in Make-A-Wish’s 42-year existence.
