John Cena recently returned to in-ring action on the 30th December edition of WWE SmackDown.
On the show, John Cena teamed up with Kevin Owens to face off against the team of Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn. Cena and Owens were successful in defeating the duo after a ten-minute bout.
However, the spotlight has recently been put on a WWE fan who was elated to witness Cena’s return live.
Fan Shares Incredible Video Of Sons Heartwarming Reaction To John Cena’s WWE Return
In the crowd during the SmackDown show was Twitter user @Just4Kicks212. They took their son to witness the event first-hand and were delighted with the kid’s reaction to John Cena’s entrance.
“I took my son to see @WWE Smackdown last night as a surprise cause all he’s been telling me about is @JohnCena coming back & him fighting @WWERomanReigns (both are his favorites, along with
@WWEUsos)”“His reaction was priceless.”
The match was Cena’s first and last bout of 2022. His previous in-ring appearance on a televised WWE show was at Summerslam 2021, where Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated him. He also participated in a dark match following the 10th September 2021 edition of Smackdown, where he teamed with Rey and Dominic Mysterio to beat Roman Reigns and the Usos.
After his match on the year-end SmackDown, John Cena addressed the fans in attendance, where he thanked them for their support.
The gap between Cena’s last and next match is set to be shorter, with the superstar allegedly scheduled to compete at WrestleMania 39. He is one of many “big names” rumoured for the event, which also includes Dwayne Johnson and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, among others.
Recently, Kevin Owens tipped his hat to John Cena, stating that Cena helped him become a better in-ring performer. Owens famously made his WWE main roster debut against John Cena at Elimination Chamber 2015.
