John Cena Expected For Multiple WWE Pay-Per-View Appearances During This Run

John Cena is returning to WWE, and tonight’s SmackDown will see him on the company’s programming for the first time since Money in the Bank. It appears that Cena will be around for a few weeks as well, because he has the next two months blocked off for WWE.

Although John Cena’s announced return schedule only included SmackDown events, he will likely work in a couple pay-per-views along the way. This could mean that John Cena will work an actual program with a match or two as well.

PW Insider noted that John Cena is expected to appear at Payback this Sunday, but that’s not all. There is also talk that the 16x World Champion will be around for the Fastlane pay-per-view in October.

Within WWE, there’s been talk of John Cena appearing at both Payback this weekend and Fastlane in October.

Ringside News reached out to ask about John Cena’s WWE return, and how long this has been planned. We were told by a tenured member of the team that, “Cena has been discussing a return since the SAG strike.” It appears that Cena has found a way to stay busy during his downtime.

We will have to see how WWE books John Cena. While a match against Grayson Waller seems possible, you never know how they will use Cena this time around. On that note, you can click here for a spoiler on WWE’s plan for John Cena at Payback.
