The December 30th, 2022 episode of SmackDown will feature ‘Big Match John’ returning to WWE in Tampa, Florida. John Cena appeared on the June 27th, 2022 episode of RAW to celebrate his 20th anniversary in WWE. He addressed the fans and thanked everyone for being a part of his WWE career until now.

However, there is no news on why Cena is returning to this year’s last WWE show. Many wonders if it’s just an appearance, while some say he’ll talk about his future feuds for WrestleMania 39.

Will John Cena have a match at WrestleMania 39?

Variety broke the news of John Cena returning to WWE on the December 30th episode, ahead of last week’s SmackDown. However, while the show was on air WWE also shared the same news on Twitter confirming the news of the return of the 16-time world champion. 

That show will take place at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, where ‘The Cenation Leader’ currently resides. The question stands whether Cena will just appear to address the fans or he will talk about his WrestleMania 39 status 

According to the reports of Wrestling Observer covered by Sportzwiki, Cena is likely to miss WrestleMania 39 next. The reason is simple, he will be in Melbourne, Australia to film his upcoming comedy movie, ‘Ricky Stanicky’. 

The filming of the movie is said to get started from February to all the way March of next year. WrestleMania 39 will happen on April 1st and 2nd. Therefore, Cena won’t be able to build a feud for a match or even time to train for the same.

Nevertheless, he can train while filming the movie. However, that is a risk, as if an injury happens, his WrestleMania 39 plans stop and the filming will shut down for some time. Also, as the movie will be filmed internationally and so the F9 star won’t risk stopping it. We covered an article in which we talked about Cena’s upcoming film in which he will star with Zac Efron.

Surprisingly, he could still make a return at Mania after completing the filming in March. He could make a surprise appearance like he did at WrestleMania 35 or he could have an impromptu match as The Rock did at WrestleMania 32.
