John Cena’s last appearance on WWE programming took place at Money in the Bank back in July when Cena teased the possibility of WrestleMania being held in London. However, fans will be seeing John Cena very soon as he’s set to make his return to WWE during this week’s episode of SmackDown.
It looks like Cena will also be appearing at Payback on Saturday as WrestleVotes is reporting that the former WWE Champion will be the special guest host for the event.
“Hearing rumblings that Payback will have a special guest host this Saturday night. And his name is John Cena.”
