John Cena's WWE return announcement garnered one-word response from AEW veteran
WWE legend John Cena is set to return on SmackDown's last episode of the year. He last appeared on WWE television in June this year to celebrate his two-decade anniversary with the company. Recently, Mark Henry took to social media to share his reaction on his former rival's return.
The Cenation Leader competed against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021. He is currently known for his role of Peacemaker in the TV series of the same name. The 16-time world champion made his debut in 2002 against Kurt Angle. The multi-time WWE Champion's impressive run with the company enabled him to etch his name in the history books. In addition to Ric Flair, he is the only star to have a 16-time world champion record.
Mark Henry signed with AEW last year and overlooks the commentary and backstage interviews. Since then, he has mostly appeared on AEW Rampage and often mentors the talents. He feuded with Cena on multiple occasions during his WWE tenure.
