John Cena Reveals When He Might Make His WWE Return
During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, John Cena provided tantalizing hints about his future WWE appearances, dispelling any notion that WrestleMania 40 marked his final outing in a WWE ring.
With an unwavering determination to continue his journey within the squared circle, Cena hinted at a potential return, indicating that his time in WWE is far from over.
“I’ll change my shirt but you guys know that comes with a uniform change, but last night wasn’t my last night, so this doesn’t mean this is my last uniform. That means that I’ve speculated about when I will hang up the jorts but it wasn’t last night and I still got a little bit of rubber left on the top.”
“I’m actively trying to craft that path now. I put a line in the sand for myself at 50 and I honestly think it’s going to be before that. There is your breaking news. I’ll be 47 in a few weeks. You got about 1000 days.”
Cody Rhodes also shared details about his schedule for the year, including an expected return to WWE.
“I’ll go here from working on something with Honda. I have a cool Keno appearance with Samsung in Las Vegas. The convention is, ‘the time is now’ and they called on yours truly to speak there. I’m very grateful for that. I have some more branding stuff to do before I fly to Europe to do more filming for ‘Head of State,’ and straight from that to film for Peacemaker 2. That will take us through to Christmas, and I’m crossing my fingers, my toes and my heart, that maybe, just maybe I can tell the Hollywood world to pump the brakes so I can come back to my family for one last run.”
By the looks of it, John Cena will return to WWE next year, so it remains to be seen how he will be booked upon his triumphant comeback.
