Sunday night, John Cena returned at Money in the Bank to one of the loudest pops that WWE has ever seen.
In case you were watching with sound off, when Cena’s music hit, it sounded like Stone Cold Steve Austin had made a shocking return.

When’s the last time you’ve seen that many people together and happy? Never? Thank you, Cena.
After the show went off-air, Cena addressed the still fawning crowd:
“I certainly wanted to come out here to let all you know that I’M BACK.”

It’s clear from the stare-down that Cena will now challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam on Saturday, August 21. The current face of the company (Reigns) vs. the former face of the company (Cena). Should Cena want that title back, who is going to tell him no?
Cena has been away from WWE television since WrestleMania 36, back on April 5, 2020. It has been over two years since Cena last competed in an actual match. That is the longest Cena has ever gone without competing.
Movie career must be going pretty well…
Word is — and this is not confirmed by wrestling sources — the fans missed John Cena. They really missed John Cena. They badly missed John Cena.
It doesn’t make you a nerd to admit you are ecstatic about John Cena’s return. In fact, it makes you a liar if you say otherwise.
Commie John dead to me.
He then went back in the dressing room, donned a red shirt, and came back out to deliver the same message in Mandarin.
Good lord Bobby, just get it over with and ask Shanghai Cena out already since its obvious you have a school-girl crush on him. It’s painfully obvious at this point that WWE has no idea what they’re doing if they’re having to resort to bringing back Cena or Rock or any other past-their-prime superstar to get eyeballs and a cheap pop. Is the talent development that bad that no present star is worth pushing over Reigns?
John Cena is about as tough as a marshmallow and a fawning supplicant to China. I’d take any number of guys from my Chicago neighborhood who would smack him around like the simp he is. And this is the worst Outkick column ever.
What a smarmy soft chicom loving pos no thanks where’s Dr Death when you need him
Sadly that’s what wrestling is today. A bunch of pansies. No more real tough guys like Bruiser Brody, Harley Race, Dick Murdoch etc…
Did he make his announcement in English or Mandarin?
Did he still have his face buried in Xi’s crotch when he made the announcement?
Embarrassing Burack.
F Cena. I’m not going to enjoy anything a supporter of Chinese Communist Party slave labor and genocide.
