John Cena Looks Unrecognizable In Backstage Video

WWE had recently confirmed on SmackDown that John Cena is set to make a huge return on the December 30th edition of SmackDown. The 16-time World Champion hadn’t appeared on WWE programming since the celebration of the 20th anniversary of his WWE debut back in June. He indicated during an in-ring promo that he wasn’t sure when he’d be competing again, and had given no indication that he’ll be back before the end of 2022. With a huge surprise, Cena made an appearance on SmackDown to accept Kevin Owens’ offer for a match against The Bloodline.

It was announced that Roman Reigns will be making his first appearance since WWE Survivor Series WarGames. When Reigns arrived on SmackDown, Jimmy Uso met him in his private room and asked if he was going to officially crown Sami Zayn as Sami Uso. However, The Tribal Chief didn’t answer.

Jimmy Uso then said that while he likes Zayn, he loves Roman and The Bloodline and will understand if Reigns doesn’t want to make Sami Zayn an official Uso. After Jimmy left, Reigns asked Heyman to call Adam Pearce. When Pearce arrived, The Head of the Table suggested a match where he will team with Zayn against Kevin Owens and anyone of Owens’ choice. Pierce said he will make the match happen and left.

Later on in the night, Roman then stated that it was supposed to be a good night for Zayn, but it wasn’t because Owens kept dragging the former Intercontinental Champion down. Sami Zayn agreed that Owens has been a cancer to him but accidentally called him a friend. Zayn then corrected himself and said that Owens was a friend and that it would be an honor to team up with Reigns.

Just before he could complete his sentence, John Cena appeared on Titantron. He said that Owens reminded him that 2022 will the first time that John Cena hasn’t wrestled in the WWE in 20 years while also asking the former WWE Champion if he would like to team up. Cena accepted the challenge and walked away to close out the show. Cena looked visibly smaller, with fans comparing his shrunken physique to Hulk Hogan in WCW in 1994.
