While there’s still no confirmation available, the popular belief is that John Cena will be back in the WWE to be on the Wrestlemania 39 card. He’s currently slated to feature in a match with an existing champion be it a title or non-title match, affair.
Last year in the summer, on the June 27th episode of Raw, Austin Theory confronted Cena in a backstage segment after Cena came back to WWE for a one-off night to celebrate his 20th anniversary in WWE. This started rumors that WWE was planting seeds for a Cena vs. Theory match at WrestleMania 39.

Moving on, Logan Paul openly stated on his podcast that he pitched Triple H the idea of him competing against Cena at WrestleMania 39. This then started rumors of a Cena vs. Paul match at the Show of Shows. But after Logan eliminated Seth Rollins at the Men’s Royal Rumble match, it’s almost confirmed that these are set for a clash.
