Michael Cole teased the return of WWE legend John Cena during the latest episode of SmackDown.
It has been about a year since John Cena wrestled in his last match. Rumor has it that Cena will return to WWE in the near future to set up a match with Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39.
On tonight's episode of SmackDown, Theory took on former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre in singles action. A distraction from Otis and Chad Gable led to McIntyre winning via DQ.
During the match in question, veteran announcer Michael Cole had the following to say about Theory:

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
"No doubt Austin Theory is one of most talented we have seen in a while. He could use an Attitude Adjustment though."
Michael Cole's tease was clearly a reference to John Cena's iconic finishing move, The Attitude Adjustment.

During his lengthy WWE run, Cena popularized the Attitude Adjustment and won several world titles with its aid. A short while ago, Cena appeared in WWE's TikTok video and had an interesting comment about Theory to share.
When asked to name a current WWE Superstar who needed an Attitude Adjustment, Cena mentioned Theory.
Theory knows the impact a match with Cena would have on his career, and he seems quite excited to face Cena somewhere down the line. Here's what Theory said about a potential bout with Cena:
"It just takes words out of my mouth, because I think when that moment happens and I’m in the ring with John Cena, man, I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what I’m gonna say. I don’t know. I have no idea just because like you’re saying and the way you spoke about it, I clearly know what it was like for me growing up watching John, just the story there and how much we’d actually have for a story. Man that’s just so crazy to me. I see it happening for sure."
Michael Cole's tease is an indication that the latest rumors about a possible match between Cena and Theory at WrestleMania 39 are legit. Getting a rub from Cena on The Grandest Stage Of Them All would do wonders for Theory's career.
What are your thoughts on Cole's tease on WWE SmackDown? Are you excited for a possible Cena-Theory outing at next year's WrestleMania?
