Cena, who has been a part of every WrestleMania since the twentieth edition, was booked to face the Undertaker in a ‘legends’ match that was to be the Phenom’s curtain call. A shoulder injury which requires six to nine months of rehabiliation sent those plans askew.

The 38-year-old Cena, who has a reputation for making worryingly premature returns, has been tweeting his progress with physical therapy and attempting to “defy science”. Earlier this week, he tweeted that he’s receiving “huge news” this week. Whether that news is related to the announcement is fodder for speculation.

WWE held a press conference to announce that Orlando’s Citrus Bowl will host WrestleMania 33. The WWE will also be opening a physical Hall of Fame with a restaurant and a merchandise store, located in the city’s Universal Studios.
