John Cena Confirms WWE Return Date

The champ is updating! John Cena is on one of his very frequent absences from WWE and that’s not the biggest surprise. Cena is currently off filming another season of his Fox reality show “American Grit” as well as a movie, which has kept him off WWE TV since early April. While his return date has been teased for a few weeks now, Cena himself has confirmed the day he’ll be back.

With “Smackdown Live” in Atlanta, the same area that Cena is filming his new movie, Cena tweeted a message saying how hard it was to stay away from the show for so long. In the same tweet, he also said that July 4 was getting closer. This is the date that has been rumored for Cena’s return.

Bittersweet day today as I begin another night in Atlanta. Such a funny movie but #SDLive @WWE is so close! 7/4 can't get here fast enough!

Opinion: If there’s a more appropriate date for Cena to return, I’m not sure what it is. He’s the All American boy and there happens to be your standard evil foreigner carrying the Smackdown World Title. While I don’t think Cena wins the title on the night he returns, I do think he gets a shot at it and sets up his match at “Summerslam 2017”.
