John Cena is set to make his in-ring return at the upcoming WWE Superstar Spectacle event in India. One of his opponents, Ludwig Kaiser, has opened up about sharing the ring with him for the first time ever.
The Cenation Leader will team up with current World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to take on Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci of Imperium in a tag team match on September 8. This will be his first match since WrestleMania 39, where he unsuccessfully challenged Austin Theory for the United States Championship.
Speaking to KhelNow in a recent interview, Ludwig Kaiser heaped praise on John Cena ahead of their bout at WWE Superstar Spectacle. He added that sharing the ring with the multi-time world champion is a special opportunity for him.
“Obviously, I mean John Cena is one of the absolute all-time greats. It is so very special to me to, you know, to get the opportunity to step on the battle against him. Not to forget Seth Rollins, World Heavyweight Champion, it is such a perfect match and a very special opportunity for myself," said Kaiser.

He added:
"Obviously, where I am right now in my career, it couldn’t be better. I am very much the best I have ever been, I have been proving that every time I get on the mat, I get an opportunity to do that. I am very happy about the next opportunity and to step on the mat with one of the absolute greatest of all time.”
