Earlier this year, WWE celebrated the 20 year Anniversary of John Cena. The host venue was a legit sold-out for the glamorous occasion and everyone was just waiting for their icon to show up. However, there was some added expectations from him apart being only an appearance. The WWE Universe was expecting someone to confront Cena during his promo to setup a match.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen and Cena delivered an emotional address to everyone out there and those watching around the world. The Franchise Player genuinely thanked his fans for showing unconditional love and support towards him. Despite the fact that we got nothing fruitful out of John Cena’s Raw appearance, there is nothing to be sad about.

Mr. Money in the Bank Austin Theory was already locked in as former’s next opponent whenever Cena finds some time. The only concern now is given that Vince McMahon is gone and Theory hasn’t been the same ever since, could this be just an indication about his declining status or we are still getting Theory against Cena in future. We’ll have to wait and see what unfolds in coming months.
