On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Cena squared off against R-Truth in the main event. The match ended in a disqualification after Cena hit Truth with the Undisputed WWE Championship. Following the match, CM Punk came out to attack Cena but was put through a table instead. The Cenation Leader then grabbed a microphone, sat on the top turnbuckle, and replicated Punk's pipebomb promo from over a decade ago. During this promo, he namedropped three former WWE stars - Claudio Castagnoli, Nic Nemeth, and Matt Cardona.

During a recent GCW show, Matt Cardona was in the middle of his promo when he sat on the turnbuckle, much like Cena, and said, "Hey, John Cena," while waving at the camera.

The Greatest of All Time was part of the SummerSlam Kickoff show, where Michael Cole asked him if he wanted to check off more boxes before his retirement. Cena left the questions to the fans, who suggested a match with Triple H. However, the Undisputed WWE Champion turned down the idea of facing The Game.

"Hunter Hearst Helmsley [Triple H]? No, we can't do that one. I don't know, we'll see how it plays out. I got until December," he said. [19:20 - 19:28]
