5 times WWE legends returned to challenge current stars

#3. John Cena - Returned to WWE to face The Fiend Bray Wyatt

John Cena and Bray Wyatt.

It's been two years now since we've seen John Cena in a traditional WWE wrestling match. He only appears a few times a year and wrestles once if WWE fans are lucky enough.

In 2020, John Cena returned and seemingly indicated that he was done with WWE. However, The Fiend Bray Wyatt - who just lost his Universal Title to Goldberg - pointed at the WrestleMania sign to indicate a challenge.

The former face of WWE, John Cena accepted the challenge, and while it was thought to be a rematch from six years before, it turned out to be quite different.

Having WrestleMania 36 behind closed doors meant that WWE had to get creative. And instead of a wrestling match, we got the cinematic Firefly Fun House Match.

It wasn't a traditional match at all, and John Cena and Bray Wyatt took a trip down memory lane. It was a unique match in its own way, but WWE fans were still raving about the cinematic Boneyard Match a night before.

Ultimately, John Cena still repaid the favor from WrestleMania 36, and by vanishing into thin air, he would disappear from WWE again.
