The wrestling industry is made up of fans and critics. Opinions will always divide the WWE Universe. This is exactly what happened when John Cena came back to WWE at Money in the Bank 2021.

When The Invisible Man returned, the crowd went wild. There wasn’t one fan sitting silently in the arena. The chants or the boos don’t count, it’s the fact that he managed to get a reaction out of everybody is what really matters.

Several individuals within the industry reacted to Cena returning to the company, and one of them is Booker T. He believes that Cena coming back is exactly what WWE needed to bring back an energy equivalent to that of the Attitude Era.

John Cena returning was important for Roman Reigns

The WWE Hall of Famer is convinced this was the only way forward for Roman Reigns, The Universal Champion. Otherwise, there wasn’t anyone else on the roster to book him against.

“John Cena made a return to confront Roman Reigns and we’ve been asking the question over the last couple of weeks,  ‘Who’s left for Roman Reigns? Whose left on the race? He’s cleaned out the division, that’s pretty much what we’ve been saying. Boom!’ John Cena pops up now. “

Booker T leaves the WWE Universe with a piece of advice

While he understands that critics have their own point of view, he knows the type of impact the Superstars from Attitude Era have on the audience. Therefore, it’s important to embrace their return.

“The point I’m making is man the guys from that era still sell all right. They still give the people that something they feel inside that they’re not feeling right now. So, embrace it is what I’m saying, you know, a guy like Cena coming back.”
