To everyone’s surprise, John Cena responded by posting a photo of Karrion Kross on his Instagram account. Fans have often wondered if Cena will return for one final in-ring encounter, and it appears that the 16-time world champion wants to face an NXT Superstar. If booked, this could be huge for the Black and Gold brand.

Karrion Kross had a dream start to his WWE career, winning the NXT Championship shortly after his debut. Unfortunately, he had to relinquish the title as he sustained a serious injury on the same night. Kross recently returned and defeated Finn Balor for the coveted prize at WWE NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.
