John Cena is making his way to Hyderabad, India for WWE Superstar Spectacle at G. M. C. Balayogi Indoor Stadium on September 8, 2023. This will be The Champ’s first match in India ever since he started his WWE journey.
While the event has singles matches on the card, John Cena will be working a tag team match alongside Seth Rollins. The duo will take on The Imperium's Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.
The possible reason why WWE has booked the former WWE Champion in a tag team match rather than singles match is ring rust. This is a term used to describe a pro-wrestler who has been away from the action for a while because of injury or other reasons, and theirs skills have taken a hit.

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
The Champ’s last televised match was at WrestleMania 39 against Austin Theory. He made a surprise return at Money in the Bank 2023 and is scheduled for SmackDown on September 1, 2023. While his appearances have helped WWE to generate a lot of buzz, he hasn’t taken part in any in-ring action.
Pro-wrestlers returning to in-ring action after months are at a lesser chance of suffering any injury and putting strain on the body if they take part in a tag team match. Since Cena is not a full-time WWE pro-wrestler, it’s understandable why a tag team match is much better suited for his overall schedule. He has other commitments that he needs to fulfill and an injury will prevent him from doing so.
