Could John Cena return to WWE SmackDown this very week? This report sheds light on the same.

Now, Fightful Select is reporting that he is scheduled to appear on WWE programming within the next eleven days. The report adds that the current plan for The Leader of the Cenation is to return on the July 23rd episode of Friday Night SmackDown, however, it could happen sooner than that as well.

Imagine Roman Reigns, The Usos, and King Corbin on one side on WWE SmackDown. On the other, the babyfaces are outnumbered.

And that's when John Cena's music hits!

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Cesaro came up short against Seth Rollins in a Money in the Bank qualifier.

Will Cesaro slip down the ranks as a result?

The best way to keep him relevant is another title feud on WWE SmackDown, with a current Champion.

Cesaro vs. Apollo Crews, in a sense, will elevate both men. Is it finally time for Cesaro to win big?
