Last week’s Monday Night Raw will always be close to the WWE universe’s hearts as one of its biggest stars made his long-awaited return. John Cena returned to the squared circle to confront a WWE superstar and set up a match at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Amid the flourishing excitement for their upcoming WrestleMania match, there was still a doubt hovering around about Cena’s next WWE TV appearance before the big stage arrival.

Additionally, in the current edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer’s report made it even more inevitable than before. The report suggested that “Cena actually wrapped up his filming of the movie Ricky Stanicki on 3/4, so he will be available for television over the next several weeks.” Fans expressed their delight at the news on social media.
Fans reacted to the report suggesting Cena’s frequent WWE appearance
This update naturally stimulated fans to the core as it allowed them to find the familiar flavor of the weekly WWE Raw. After attaining the top position in the business, Cena earned his deserved right to feature in the company’s flagship show, Raw, back in 2000. The iconic timeline is still vividly visible in our memory. Hence, it’s no doubt that the 16-time World Champion’s return to his old pavilion added a unique aura altogether.
Moreover, some fans believe John Cena did justice to his greatest of all-time title by choosing his first love, wrestling over acting.
