Since 2015, John Cena has stepped back from performing for WWE on a regular basis. Cena has continued to make sporadic appearances for the promotion, but they have become far more infrequent in recent years.

John Cena's last WWE appearance came during WrestleMania 36 Night Two in 2020. Cena was defeated by "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Fun House match. Due to the ongoing global pandemic, the match was altered to a pre-taped, cinematic presentation.

It appears John Cena's WWE return could be on the horizon. Rumors continue to swirl that Cena is set to compete at this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A potential showdown against current Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been suggested. A match between the two faces of their respective generations, Cena vs Reigns would certainly be a major box office draw for WWE.
