John Cena is waiting for the right opportunity to make his way back on WWE Television. In recent interviews, he also openly admitted that a return could be right around the corner as WWE continues celebrating his 20th anniversary in the company. To do so, a returning angle for the franchise player is needed and WWE may have already kicked that off, quietly.
WWE Raw Superstar and the United States Champion, Austin Theory has been openly gunning for a match with John Cena for years, and going by the current circumstance, it seems like that encounter could be approaching forward.

As a guest on a recent episode of the WWE After the Bell podcast hosted by Corey Graves, Theory expressed his admiration for John Cena. Recently, Theory also posted a Happy Birthday tweet to WWE’s resident Super-Cena, while also taking a jab at him by saying that he’s a better United States Champion. The Cenation Leader eventually responded by stating that the young star had, “far more talent, strength, and gifts than I ever had.”
Then during an interview with the New York Post, Theory was asked if John Cena is indeed going to return to face him at SummerSlam 2022. In response, the emerging superstar noted that he doesn’t know about the biggest party of the summer but this match should definitely be happening.

Theory and John Cena went back and forth in recent times
“It’s just wild,” Theory said. “Just to think the time of day to say anything to me, that’s really cool and especially what he did say on Twitter, I thought that was very interesting and very motivating. It’s WWE, you never know what can happen and I feel like we do have a feeling what could happen pretty soon though.”

Moving on, John Cena did a Q&A with WWE on TikTok, where he name-dropped Theory as his current favorite WWE Superstar and also the one name from the WWE roster who needs to get an Attitude Adjustment.
Theory then tweeted the following:
“Stop playing dress up and do something then @JohnCena”
Via these altercations, it looks like the seeds for a Cena vs. Theory matchup have already been planted. A recent report came out informing that WWE Officials indeed view Theory as the ‘next John Cena’ and if that’s the case then this match seems inevitable.
