Former franchise player of the WWE, John Cena has been announced to make his return to WWE programming on the December 30th episode of SmackDown which takes place from his current hometown of Tampa, Florida at the Amalie Arena. This episode is going to be the final WWE show of 2022 and the second-only WWE TV appearance of the legendary superstar for this year.
Back on the June 27 episode of Raw, WWE celebrated the 20-year anniversary of their top player who ruled the yard for a long time before Roman Reigns took over. In that final appearance on WWE TV, John Cena did not wrestle but appeared in several backstage segments throughout. It ended with a promo session in front of multiple WWE Raw roster members. Nothing regarding his next match was also noted during that night.

In an update, reports claim that WWE wants all of their top stars to appear at WrestleMania 39, including the 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena.

Xero News is reporting that WWE has been discussing three names for John Cena’s opponent and those are the two-time United States Champion Austin Theory, LA Knight, and Logan Paul. It was also stated that Theory is the least likely to get selected for a matchup against the Superstar with “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect,”
‘We are told Cena is still planned for WrestleMania
Logan Paul, LA Knight & Austin Theory are the options for Cena at Mania.
I was told Theory is the least likely option
I was told Cena vs Logan is the frontrunner, Knight is 2nd option for Cena.”
Multiple previous reports have stated that WWE wants to do John Cena vs. Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39. The seeds for this bout have also been planted on the June 27 episode of Raw as the two featured in a confrontation, backstage. Then before Survivor Series 2022, Theory appeared on WWE’s The Bump on YouTube and claimed that he was better than the former champion. However, Logan Paul is the most favorite to be his opponent.
Previously, Logan himself requested WWE Creative Head Triple H for a matchup against John Cena at WrestleMania and he might get his wishes true as WWE would definitely want two celebrity stars to compete in a match and garner some mainstream attention.
