John Cena made his WWE TV return this past Monday night on Raw to set up his match with United States Champion Austin Theory at WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.
After reports that Cena was locked in for WrestleMania, the belief was that Cena would not appear on WWE TV for most of the build-up for the bout due to the filming schedule of his “Ricky Stanicky” movie. However, things have changed.
Ahead of Monday’s Raw, Cena sent out a tweet noting, “Wrapped #RickyStanicky early Saturday! Excited for first day on set of #GrandDeathLotto 2day! Then..BOSTON @WWE #RAW 2nite! “Experts” said it was impossible for me 2 appear on the road to #WrestleMania Guess they C ME. It’s never impossible 2 make time 4 family & loved 1s.”
Even though Cena will be filming Grand Death Lotto, he will be appearing on WWE TV more than expected.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “Cena actually wrapped up his filming of the movie Ricky Stanicky on 3/4, so he will be available for television over the next several weeks.”
As of this writing, Cena is not advertised for other WWE shows. WWE officials were happy with how Cena helped boost interest in Raw. For more on that, click here.
