There is a trend that is going on whenever John Cena makes his return to WWE television, and that’s putting over younger talent. He did so for Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021, Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 earlier this year, and Solo Sikoa this past Saturday at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
Sikoa had his biggest match to date in his short WWE career when he worked his first-ever singles match at a PLE and beat the former WWE Champion with several Samoan spikes, wrapping up Cena’s stint with WWE for now.
Cena has not won a singles match at a PLE since 2018 with a win over Triple H at Greatest Royal Rumble. Cena has movie commitments once the actor’s strike ends.
Following the show, Cena posted a photo of David Beckham, which was taken during his last soccer match, hinting that he may have had his last match. Cena has stated in the past that he knows his time in the ring is winding down.
Cena took to Instagram to share a photo of Babe Ruth’s last public appearance in 1948 during Yankee Stadium’s 25th-anniversary season, another indication that he may be getting closer to retirement.
