John Cena is a 16-time World Champion in WWE, being the face of the company for over a decade. This was until he shifted to a part-time schedule back in 2017. Many fans have been wanting to see Cena make his return at this year’s WrestleMania but it is doubtful it will even happen. He has also worked in several films over the years, including Fast and Furious 9, The Suicide Squad, and others. John Cena’s real fight with fired WWE star also leaked previously.
John Cena challenged Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Title at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view last year and despite working his hardest, he was unable to beat the Tribal Chief for the title. He has also not been seen on WWE television since the SummerSlam encounter with the Tribal Chief.
John Cena was a bodybuilder and an avid one at that before he turned to a career in the world of professional wrestling. John Cena’s transformation from a pro wrestling star to a Hollywood actor has been a long and difficult road for him.
Fightful Select reports that there were plans to film something between John Cena and Austin Theory during the former’s return to SmackDown, which could air on Raw. Austin Theory was originally supposed to wrestle Seth Rollins in a live show in Toronto. However, Theory was pulled from the show to travel to Tampa, where he was set to film a segment with John Cena.
It was not confirmed if that segment with John Cena was for digital, 2k, or for future use, but the segment was filmed.
“A changed live event main event could have a lot more behind it than meets the eye.
Fightful Select has learned that WWE had at least planned to film something with John Cena and WWE United States Champion Austin Theory while Cena was in for the December 30 Smackdown show.
Theory was originally scheduled to main event the Toronto live event that night in a cage match with Seth Rollins. However, Theory was pulled from that show to travel to Tampa, where he was set to film a segment with John Cena. We aren’t told if that was to be digital, for future use, for 2K, but the segment was filmed.
We can confirm WrestlingNews.co‘s report that as of November, there were loose plans for John Cena vs. Logan Paul to take place at WrestleMania internally, but two months later, we don’t know where that stands,” per Fightful Select.
According to the report, Rhodes was spotted at the Performance Center in late December along with his family and team. Sources told Fightful that Rhodes was able to pick who to help him train for his in-ring return, and he handpicked NXT stars, Carmelo Hayes and Joe Gacy. Cody’s vignettes will end with him announcing his entry into the Royal Rumble match.
