John Cena, the former WWE champion, is eagerly anticipated by wrestling fans all over the world. The 16-time world champion will take the stage on the inaugural episode of SmackDown, which will take place at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, next month.

In addition to the SmackDown show, WWE has already revealed that Cena will compete in a tag team fight at the Superstar Spectacular on September 8 in Hyderabad, India.

WWE made a statement on social media announcing the fight: “John Cena will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Rollins to battle Imperium’s Kaiser and Vinci at the WWE Superstar Spectacle in Hyderabad on September 8th.”

John seems thrilled!

John Cena revealed his excitement about his comeback to the WWE. Sharing his feelings, the wrestler-turned-actor wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Cannot wait to reunite with the WWE family live on SmackDown. Especially excited to meet the WWE Universe in India and wrestle for the first time ever in India! The time is now. See you all very soon!”

WWE is all geared up to ‘SmackDown’ some punches in India

WWE has several events planned before the India event, including Payback, which will feature a total of five matchups. Rollins will face Shinsuke Nakamura in one of those matches to defend his world heavyweight belt. The match will take place on September 2.

The Superstar Spectacle event will be presented in front of a live audience for the first time this time. The Thunderdome served as the recording location for the first episode of the programme, which was broadcast on January 26, 2021, to celebrate India’s Republic Day.

Tag team championship on the line

The Indus Sher team of Veer and Sanga, together with Jinder Mahal, will square off against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a title battle on the next September 8 episode of the programme for the undisputed tag team championship.

Fan’s react

The 16-time WWE champ has a staggering fan base in India. While some fans were dissatisfied with his only arrival in Hyderabad, others rejoiced about his arrival. Many took to the internet to share their love for Cena.

About Cena’s last appearance

When Cena last competed, he was defending the United States Championship against Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 in April. Cena controlled the fight for most of it, but he eventually gave up in the face of Theory’s tenacity, who won it with his signature A-Town Down. Also last month, Cena made an unexpected cameo at Money in the Bank at The O2 Arena. He received bursts of applause from the English audience as he delivered an impassioned statement advocating for London to host a WrestleMania in the future.
