John Cena surprised the WWE Universe with his blockbuster return at Money in the Bank 2023. The Cenation Leader got a huge reaction from the live audience. However, he was soon interrupted by Grayson Waller, who invited the former WWE Champion for an appearance at "The Grayson Waller Effect" show in Australia.

One possible reason for the 33-year-old star confronting The Cenation Leader could be that Waller was looking to make a name for himself by standing tall over a WWE legend.

Additionally, recent reports have revealed that WWE is very impressed with Waller's recent work on the blue brand. Hence, the Australian-born star's involvement in an angle against The Cenation Leader in front of a packed London crowd could be WWE's way of rewarding him for his recent performances.

While the SmackDown star invited Cena for an appearance on his talk show, The Cenation Leader refused. Following that, an irate Waller attacked Mr. Hustle Loyalty & Respect. However, John Cena quickly hit back at the 33-year-old, delivering a devastating Attitude Adjustment to him.
