"My Time Is Now," 30-year-old WWE star says to John Cena after he makes Royal Rumble announcement

A popular WWE star has sent a bold message targeting John Cena after the latter made a huge announcement on the RAW Netflix premiere. Cena announced that he'll be competing in the Men's Royal Rumble match and plans to win the free-for-all this year.

Cena is a two-time Royal Rumble winner. He won the annual free-for-all in 2008 and 2013. He now aims to win the high-stakes match for the third time in his career. However, Carmelo Hayes may have different plans.

Shortly after John Cena's promo on RAW on Netflix, WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes took to X/Twitter and took a shot at the veteran. Hayes even used the "My Time is Now" hashtag to possibly mock Cena.

"Can’t wait to run circles around this dude #RawOnNetflix #MyTimeIsNow."

Cena is one of the greatest superstars to ever grace the WWE ring. He has done it all in the business and will, in all possibility, headline his own Hall of Fame class someday. On the other hand, Carmelo is one of the most gifted young guns on the WWE roster at the moment. He is incredibly talented in the ring as well as on the mic.

Now that John Cena's farewell tour has kicked off, one wonders if he will end up wrestling Carmelo somewhere down the line. Fans would love to see the two men square it off at least once before Cena finally calls it quits in December.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
