John Cena Addresses Potential WWE Return While Giving Praise To Fellow Class Of 2002 Superstars

The WWE recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of superstar Randy Orton being part of the organization, and he’s not the only notable legend celebrating the big 2-0 this year. John Cena will also soon be celebrating two decades transpiring since his WWE debut, but does that mean we’ll see him back in the ring soon? Cena recently addressed that topic while lightly showering his fellow Class of 2002 superstars with praise. 

John Cena is a busy man as of late with a lot of projects in Hollywood on screens big and small, but he still found some time to chat with Adam Glyn for Warner Bros. Discovery's upfront presentation, with Cena repping both Peacemaker and Wipeout. During their brief conversation, Cena was asked about the odds of an in-ring return, and gave an honest response about what he wants to do:

The wrestling legend said he’s been away for too long, but relatively speaking, it has only been nine months since his match against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021. Cena enjoyed the run so much that he added tour dates to his schedule to have more time to shine in WWE-mode, so I’d believe he’s genuine in expressing a want to return.

It’s a bittersweet pill for wrestling fans that John Cena’s Hollywood career is doing so well. I’m not sure anyone is upset about his success with Peacemaker and the various other projects he’s tied up in, but with every movie and show that lands on his plate, there’s less time for him to return to the WWE for any stretch of time. The organization is doing just fine without him, of course, but it’s always exciting to see a legend get back in the ring. 

It would be even more exciting to see it happen soon, as Roman Reigns is allegedly taking most of the summer off to pursue his own endeavors
