#3 John Cena to return at WrestleMania Backlash for promotion?

John Cena can return at WrestleMania Backlash

Ahead of WrestleMania Backlash, John Cena took to his social media account and posted pictures of WWE’s logo. Several fans are expecting a potential return at the upcoming pay-per-view. It is possible that Cena will return on Sunday night, but it won’t be for a match. Instead, he will most likely make a brief appearance to promote a new show on Peacock.

The Peacock network recently confirmed that a new show is in the works, and it involves WWE legend John Cena. The show will revolve around the best heels in WWE history, and Cena will create, produce, and narrate the new series. While both parties have confirmed the news on social media, we could see a promotional segment at WrestleMania Backlash as well.

Recently, John Cena hinted that he is open to a match against NXT Champion Karrion Kross. The 16-time world champion gave a nod to a fan’s idea of this being his potential retirement match. Upon his return, Cena is not expected to compete at WrestleMania Backlash, but at least he has not completely dismissed the idea of a final match inside the WWE ring.
