The go-home episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania 41 will be a visual treat for the WWE Universe. Cody Rhodes confirmed that a three-time World Heavyweight Champion will appear on the blue brand next week.
The American Nightmare is ought to defend the past, present, and the future of WWE when he faces John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night Two.. The Cenation Leader has threatened to retire as champion and take the most prestigious prize home with him.
Cena hasn't been seen on TV since Rhodes nailed him with Cross Rhodes on the March 31 episode of RAW. That was believed to be his last TV appearance for a while since he wasn't advertised for any weekly show until The Showcase of the Immortals.
However, WWE is now advertising The Franchise Player for the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania 41. Cody Rhodes confirmed the news on SmackDown last night with the following message:
"John Cena has neglected to make Seattle part of his Farewell Tour. He has opted to be in Vegas for SmackDown next week," Rhodes said.
The 47-year-old legend is working limited dates as part of his Farewell Tour.
Will he come face-to-face with Rhodes before their WrestleMania showdown? Fans must tune into SmackDown next week to find out.
