The September 5 episode of the blue brand is expected to be a special one for multiple reasons. It will be 17-time World Champion John Cena's final SmackDown appearance. RAW star CM Punk will also be at the show, with many fans speculating about his wife, AJ Lee's, return following The Second City Saint's recent interaction with Becky Lynch.

Ahead of the show, Triple H took to his X/Twitter account to celebrate the wrestling promotion's four-decade partnership with the Allstate Arena. The Game teased that something special might take place at the show, noting that the venue was magical, and the promotion was down to make more of it.

John Cena will reportedly wrestle WWE United States Champion Sami Zayn at the show. The Cenation Leader and The Underdog from the Underground have previously competed in a one-on-one contest only once.
