This will be John Cena’s first WWE appearance since he unexpectedly competed in July’s Money in the Bank at The O2 Arena. This year, in April, he was also featured on the WrestleMania roster. Cena had challenged Austin Theory for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 39. Unfortunately for Cena, he lost that match.
Although John Cena has been the company’s public face for many years, he has not been actively participating in matches for WWE as of late. Cena only made one appearance in WWE all of last year.
When discussing his time in WWE, Cena recently said that he feels nostalgic about being involved with the company.
“Man, I wish I was still there every day. I just can’t. My body can’t do it anymore and I don’t want to give the consumer a bad product. That’s a thing that I learned from those veterans at that time. Guys like Eddie just would risk so much.”
“He’s like, ‘I’m never gonna give the consumer a bad product. I don’t care how I feel. I don’t care how I feel physically, I don’t care what baggage I have mentally. When I’m on, they paid good money and I’m gonna go out there and give everything I have and sometimes find it when it’s not there,'”
WWE hasn’t held a live show in India since 2017 at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, but next month’s Hyderabad Superstar Spectacle will change all that. WWE Superstar Spectacular will not be shown in the USA this September. Two years ago, the very first broadcast of this event took place in India.
