There have been some rumors on John Cena vs. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, being the main event of SummerSlam 2021. A guest host in Cardi B is also being eyed to make the show an NFL stadium-worthy. But the potential return of the sixteen-time world champion is the most anticipated thing of this summer. It appears that the return could really be happening, at some point.
John Cena was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet, where he said that not having fans in attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic, helped Roman Reigns to develop his heel character and his personality. Speaking about the WWE main eventer, the host then changed the topic to a potential return in a tricky manner. The Cenation leader indirectly confirmed the same. Check out the conversation.

Chris then asked if John Cena’s return is a matter of when and not if, and the 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion replied, “You are absolutely correct. Yep”
