The WWE Backlash premium live event is set to emanate from Tampa, Florida this weekend, and John Cena will be returning to make what he has called an announcement that will “shock the foundation of WWE.”
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select is reporting that the internal expectation is John Cena’s appearance at Backlash is tied to Club WWE and its upcoming launch. It’s being said that there are high expectations for this new initiative, and one source noted that Cena being established as the face of the announcement gives it a huge boost.
When WrestleVotes Radio asked if the announcement John Cena is making at WWE Backlash could be an announcement for a future WrestleMania location a source said, “probably not.”
