5 Reasons why John Cena is making his return to WWE
John Cena hasn't appeared on WWE programming since WrestleMania 36 where he was defeated by Bray Wyatt in the first-ever Firefly Fun House match. There have been rumors over the past year regarding his WWE status and return. It wasn't until last night's appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that John Cena was able to address these rumors:
“Those rumors are true. I will definitely be back to the WWE, I just don’t know when. Yeah, 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 is not the case. I haven’t had my last match and I can’t wait to have my next match,” John Cena declared.
This revelation has turned many heads in the WWE Universe. There could be a number of reasons why John Cena is looking to return to WWE. Let's examine just five of them.
#5. John Cena could respond to Roman Reigns' recent comments
Roman Reigns has become the biggest WWE Superstar in recent months. He has dominated SmackDown as the Universal Champion for almost a full year.
There have been rumors regarding Roman Reigns facing The Rock at WrestleMania 39. The Head of The Table recently sent a message to both The Rock and John Cena regarding a WWE return whilst appearing on ESPN's SportsNation:
“Yeah, that’s a dream for a lot of our fans [Roman Reigns vs. The Rock],” Reigns said. “It ain’t a dream for him, you know what I mean? I get this a lot with Dwayne and John Cena as well. These guys are doing very well for themselves. There’s no question about it, so I don’t know," Reigns said.
Reigns took a snide jab stating that if he was either The Rock or Cena, he'd rather keep pumping out streaming movies rather than return to the ring, since he's a problem for everyone right now.
Reigns was in character when he delivered the message. The former 16-time World Champion could return to SmackDown to give his response in person.
