The WWE Universe was on the edge of their seats at this week’s Raw when John Cena’s theme song hit the titantron screen. The Cenation Leader returned to WWE after a long absence. Moreover, the fans gave him one of the loudest pops on his emotional entrance. However, United States Champion Austin Theory interrupted and confronted him on his return. The two of them had an exchange of words in the ring that energized the fans at TD Garden.

John Cena received a warm reception from the fans in Boston this week on Raw. However, before he could interact with the crowd, Austin Theory interrupted him. He confronted Cena and said that he has much respect for him, just like the WWE Universe. Moreover, Theory said that he grew up watching and idolizing Cena. The US Champion also admitted that The Cenation Leader is the reason why he became a WWE superstar.

Backstage segment

During the segment, Theory said that he had a gift for Cena that was much bigger than any of his movie roles. The former NXT star said that he would give John Cena an opportunity for the United States Championship at The Grandest Stage of Them All. However, the 16-time world champion showed no inclination towards that. The two of them had a back-and-forth exchange of words in the ring. Moreover, Austin Theory mocked Cena and said that he felt like The Champ gave up despite his own catchphrase, ‘Never Give Up.’

To this, the Cenation Leader said that he rejected the match just to save Theory’s a**. But after constant provocation, John Cena accepted Austin Theory’s challenge for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 39. The crowd at TD Garden gave a loud pop to this segment. Moreover, Cena told Theory that he made the biggest mistake of his life. In the end, John Cena roasted Austin Theory in front of the fans and left the ring.

Therefore, WWE officially confirmed the match between the two for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 39. The fans are excited to see the 16-time world champion in in-ring action at the Showcase of the Immortals.

With his main roster debut, Austin Theory captured the attention of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Mr. McMahon looked at Theory as a big star in the company’s future.
