“John Cena will return to SmackDown on Friday, Feb. 28, as Team Blue continues down The Road to WrestleMania.

Previously, John Cena appeared in an interview with The Sun to confirm that he will be more than happy to perform at Wrestlemania 36,
“I will for sure be at the event and I have great trust in the process and I have great faith in Vince McMahon not only as a boss, but as so much more than that.
As a friend, as a mentor. If he were to tell me that he needs me, I would absolutely be active in whatever capacity, whether it would be like last year in New York rapping my way to the ring or the year before being a fan in the stands. There is no job too small.”
It should be noted that Wrestlemania 36 happens at the Raymond James Stadium situated in Tampa Bay, Florida. It is the hometown for John Cena and he is willing to steal the show instead of making a one-off appearance, only. So the current speculation is that WWE will book him in a wrestling capacity.
