John Cena is rumored to resurface on WWE programming for a long time and that is approaching closer. He is now reportedly scheduled to return to WWE TV, later this month as soon as Money in the Bank pay-per-view gets over. Currently, he’s been expected to wrestle at WWE SummerSlam on Saturday, August 21 in Las Vegas, challenging WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
That match is definitely on, as per the latest reports. Previously, there was no confirmed update on his actually TV return date. But now Fightful Select reports that the working plan is for John Cena to return on the July 23 SmackDown episode, the post Money In The Bank 2021 edition. It will take place at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

There’s no word yet on how they will get to Cena vs. Reigns, but the belief is Reigns will retain via interferences from Seth Rollins. Edge vs. Rollins will then go down at SummerSlam while Cena will enter a program against Reigns.

John Cena will be heading to movie shooting following Summerslam
Focusing on his acting career, John Cena has been away from WWE TV since losing the Firefly Fun House Match to “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 36 in 2020. Currently, he is free from filming procedures as Director James Gunn confirmed on Twitter this week that filming on “The Peacemaker” for HBO Max has officially wrapped in Vancouver in the first week of July.
There was some speculation on John Cena’s WWE return after last week it was announced for the new “Argylle” movie franchise. The first film in the franchise will begin filming in Europe this August. Now, multiple sources noted that the filming of “Argylle” in Europe next month will not affect the return and a match at SummerSlam. But he may just have to quickly leave after the PPV.
That being said, John Cena won’t be the one to defeat Roman Reigns for the Universal Title on August 21. As he headed to the UK for Argylle shoot, The Peacemaker series will go for editing studios as it eyes a January 22 release. It will feature 8 episodes in the first season with Cena in the lead role. He previously mentioned that the shooting was the reason why he missed WrestleMania 37 in April.
