Summerslam 2022 is on the horizon in the WWE calendar where the top superstar of the company will be gathered. To sell out the biggest event of the summer, bigger star powers are needed, anyways. This is the reason why legendary John Cena will return on WWE TV via the June 27th episode of Raw in Laredo, Texas. This will be happening over the 20th anniversary of the former franchise player of the company.
However, it’s almost certain that Cena’s appearance won’t likely be for a one-off night. Rather WWE has plans in place for him over Summerslam 2022 where he could be facing a reigning champion from the Monday Night Raw roster.
WWE Legend John Cena Teases Confrontation With The Rock In DC Universe
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that although nothing has been confirmed, “the talk in wrestling is that it will be Cena vs. Theory at SummerSlam 2022 with the idea that working with Cena will bring Theory up to a higher level.”
Summerslam 2022 feud for John Cena has already begun
As reported earlier, both Cena and Theory have taken shots at each other over interviews and social media. Now, perhaps the time is here to bring the rivalry on TV this summer to culminate in a big title match for the July PLE. While Cena may not be present on WWE TV following the PLE, Theory can always use a possible win against Cena to improve her career graph.
Following Wrestlemania 38 in April, it was reported that WWE chairman Vince McMahon views Theory as “a John Cena.” Theory also recently expressed his wish to defend the United States Championship against Cena while Cena stated that Theory needs an Attitude Adjustment. So, the groundwork for this possible match at Summerslam 2022 has already been done.
There’s no update on whether Cena will be working WWE’s Money in the Bank event, too. Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair will defend her title against Rhea Ripley at the July 2 pay-per-view while rumors have that Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch will square off again at SummerSlam 2022, resulting in a rematch from SummerSlam 2021.
In case of Cena, Summerslam 2022 could also mark his in-ring return on WWE TV since Summerslam 2021 when he was defeated by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
