John Cena’s retirement rumours have been put to an end as WWE announced his in-ring return. According to wwe.com, he is scheduled to make 12 appearances in a span of 20 days next month.
WWE on its official website stated, “Prepare for a sea of Cenation flags to be raised and waved in cities across the country next month when John Cena returns to WWE Live, returning to the ring for the first time since WWE Super ShowDown in Australia, the 16-time World Champion gears up for action in a series of WWE Live Events, beginning next month.”
He has only appeared part-time for the wrestling company in 2018 as he continues building his career in Hollywood. His last WWE appearance was at Super Show-Down in Melbourne last month where he joined forces with Bobby Lashley to defeat Elias and Kevin Owens.
He was set to compete in the World Cup tournament at the controversial Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia last month but he and Daniel Bryan were removed at the last minute due to unknown reasons.
He is one of the biggest stars in WWE history and it looks like that he will be available for the Royal Rumble, Fastlane, and WrestleMania 35.
