For weeks now WWE has been promoting the return of John Cena and on Monday night he made his return to Raw in Boston. Cena entered to a big pop from the crowd and he pointed at the WrestleMania sign when he got in the ring. Before Cena could even say a word Austin Theory’s music hit and Theory entered to heavy boos from the fans in attendance.
The fans chanted for Cena and Austin Theory told them to keep it going. Theory said that he only become a WWE Superstar because of John Cena, and that Cena inspired him. He thanked Cena then told him he has a gift for him. Theory said the gift is a match at WrestleMania for the United States Championship.
Cena simply said, “no.” He said he thought it over and he’s not interested in the gift because he hasn’t earned the right to give it. Cena said he’s been watching and listening to Theory, but just like every person in the arena they don’t care about him because they don’t believe him. He told Theory he has no heart and no soul. Cena told him to shut up, turn around, leave the ring and he’ll let him walk out in one piece.
Theory said he’s not going anywhere just like the bald spot on Cena’s head. Cena said he would rather be bald than have them pipe in fake crowd noise during his matches. John Cena asked the crowd if they wanted to see him face Austin Theory at WrestleMania and they chanted “yes.” He said he doesn’t care about Theory, but he’ll never give up on the fans. John Cena then confirmed he will face Austin Theory at WrestleMania for the US Title.
