More on John Cena's WWE return
Added 2023-09-01 19:00:05 +0000 UTCJohn Cena is appearing for WWE, in an unexpected run – even to WWE.
Cena has been announced for dates through September and October, in a run that WWE and even Cena didn’t likely expect. Staff, producers and some writers that Fightful had heard from regarding Cena was that his availability came about due to the ongoing strike, and that WWE reached an agreement to bring him in. One higher up said that if he ends up appearing regularly on TV and the strike ends, they’ll wrap up anything he’s involved in, and he’ll return to his outside projects. However, there is no concern about him missing advertised dates in the event that the strike abruptly ends.
Cena is scheduled for numerous Smackdown tapings during that period, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll appear on TV. WWE had Cena for a number of dates a couple of years ago, and inexplicably kept him off of television.
Comments
Last point from me on this. Brian Gewirtz said he felt The Rock wouldn’t appear out of solidarity with the writers.

2023-09-02 07:48:26 +0000 UTCI’m aware of this. WWE famously nonunion. Pulling in a nice pay cheque while the rest striking hardly a good look is it?

2023-09-01 20:54:57 +0000 UTCIs there any truth of Cena/Cody having a feud at all
