John Cena last wrestled at WrestleMania 39
Cena will return to action soon. However, previously he was seen squaring off against Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39.
At the Grandest Stage of Them All, Cena faced Theory for the United States Championship. During the match, Cena nailed the Five Knuckle Shuffle on Theory and then applied the STF. He then continued the assault on Theory.
However, it was Theory who finally delivered a low blow to Cena and then hit the A-Town Down on the WWE Legend for the win. Thus, Austin Theory defeated Cena at WrestleMania 39 to retain the United States Championship.
Following that, Cena was seen at Money in the Bank 2023, where he claimed that WrestleMania should be held in the United Kingdom. Grayson Waller then interrupted Cena’s segment and went on to attack the WWE legend. However, Cena stood tall in the end as he hit Waller with the Attitude Adjustment.
Now that the 16-time World Champion is set to return, will he and Grayson Waller clash once again? Only time will tell. Tune in next Friday and find out.
