John Cena to return and fight 33-year-old star at WrestleMania 40? Exploring potential hint

John Cena may not be a full-time superstar anymore, but he still visits WWE. Although he has inspired many superstars, he has also been deemed an enemy by some of them. Interestingly, one of them is somebody he has already met - 33-year-old Grayson Waller.

WWE recently held a press event in Australia ahead of the 2024 Elimination Chamber. One of the stars who appeared on the show was the country's very own Grayson Waller. During his appearance, he insulted John Cena, saying the latter sucks. Interestingly, this simple insult could lead to something more at WrestleMania 40.

Both men already have a bit of history together - Grayson interrupted John's surprise appearance at Money in the Bank in London in July. During the exchange, Waller expressed that he was against Cena's idea of bringing WrestleMania to London and suggested it should be in Australia instead. They got physical, but it was Cena who came out on top.

Grayson's sudden mention of John at the press event was certainly interesting, even if it was to make fun of the latter. This could indicate that Grayson still hasn't forgotten their previous interaction.

The 33-year-old is also the type of star John has faced in his recent returns. He has been more involved with putting over newer and younger talent, like Grayson's current partner Austin Theory last year at 'Mania, and Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel.

In what way did Grayson Waller say he defeated John Cena?

The upcoming Australian premium live event is a big deal for the superstars, but much more for its countrymen on the card. Interestingly, this was the leverage Grayson used against Cena.

While speaking with Alex McCarthy of Main Sport, Grayson Waller recalled the moment he shared with John in the UK. He pointed out that less than a year later, there was a PLE in Australia, but none in the UK. He stated that he could defeat John Cena, adding that Australian fans would be behind him and thank him for the work he did.

What will Grayson Waller do at WWE Elimination Chamber?

Unlike some of the Australian stars on the card, like Rhea Ripley and Indi Hartwell, Grayson won't be in action. He will host The Grayson Waller Effect and have Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins as his guests.

It would be interesting to see if John Cena will have time for WrestleMania 40 and with whom he will possibly share the ring.
