John Cena set to return on September 1 SmackDown

[Chris]

John Cena's return to WWE television is less than two weeks away.

In an announcement that was made by Fox Sports, it was revealed that Cena will make his WWE return on the Friday, September 1 episode of SmackDown. The show is taking place at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

What Cena will be doing on the show hasn't been disclosed. The episode is SmackDown's go-home show for Payback.

This will be Cena's first in-person appearance for WWE since showing up as a surprise at Money in the Bank in London this July. During that appearance, Cena lobbied for WWE to bring WrestleMania to London. An interaction between Cena and Grayson Waller led to Cena laying out Waller with an Attitude Adjustment.

As part of Edge's 25th anniversary celebration, a video from Cena aired on SmackDown last Friday.



Cena was in action at WrestleMania 39 earlier this year, losing to Austin Theory.

WWE has confirmed that Cena will also be appearing at their Superstar Spectacle live event in India on Friday, September 8.

"No word at this time on whether Cena will wrestle during either of his upcoming WWE appearances or for how long he'll be coming back," Fox Sports wrote.

[Jimmy King]

It’s always great to see the GOAT show up whether he’s wrestling or not.

 

[Dale]

He's gonna tell Edge he's not going out like that and offers a challenge for WrestleMania for one final match.

 

[Butters]

He wants his receipt from Theory in a retirement match. Theory's retirement.

 

[Sabretooth]

Well ain’t that some shit. Cena ain’t done yet.

 

[Stellar]

The question though is... Will we be able to SEE Cena?

 

[Deezy]

Don't put him with LA Knight, Cena would cook him and leave him stuttering.

[Sabretooth]

I really hope if he has another match he actually fucking tries this time

 

[The Gipper]

I really hope if he has another match he actually fucking tries this time

He won’t try. He’s got a generic action movie coming out the beginning of October so he can’t be injured with that release coming up so if a match is happening, he’s gonna be protected protected and more protected.

 

[Wiseman]

He's gonna tell Edge he's not going out like that and offers a challenge for WrestleMania for one final match.

This is probably the one thing involving a returning Cena that would get me to pop.

 

[Sabretooth]

I can’t imagine Cena isn’t gonna wrestle at WM 40 so I just wonder what his match will be. It might be a little early to start building to that though but who knows

 

[Deezy]

Wonder how SAG AFTRA gonna react to Cena taking gigs since apparently Rock isn't allowed to do a WWE appearance......according to the dirtsheets
