The Madison Square Garden crowd was divided on Monday night, and for once, it wasn’t just about which overpriced pretzel stand to go to. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes made a blockbuster announcement: John Cena is returning to WWE Raw next week.
Now, normally, that would send a wave of cheers through the WWE Universe—but this is heel Cena we’re talking about. The same Cena who just betrayed everything and everyone by aligning with The Rock at Elimination Chamber. So, what did MSG do? They started dueling chants, because of course they did.
One half of the crowd shouted “Let’s go Cena!” while the other half fired back with “Cena sucks!“—a chant so classic it might as well be in the WWE Hall of Fame by now.
Cody: Cena’s Dream Is Just That—a Dream
Rhodes, never one to let a dramatic moment pass him by, acknowledged Cena’s legendary status. “No one defies this business better than John Cena,” he admitted. But then, Rhodes did what any self-respecting WWE Champion would do—he crushed dreams.
Cena, now in full Final Boss Mode, is chasing his record-breaking 17th world title. But according to Cody, that’s just a fantasy. He vowed to end Cena’s dream at WrestleMania 41, calling it the “heartbreaking privilege” of beating him. (That’s a polite way of saying, “You had your time, old man.”)
Cena’s European Vacation (Featuring Mic Drops, No Questions)
Cena’s big return will happen next Monday on Raw in Brussels, Belgium. WWE is rolling through Europe with six TV tapings across Spain, Italy, Belgium, Scotland, and England. But will Cena pop up in any of those other cities? Nobody knows, because he’s been in full “mysterious villain” mode since Elimination Chamber.
His last appearance? A silent mic drop at the post-show press conference. No questions, no answers, just a mic hitting the floor like his childhood motto never existed. This is a different Cena, folks.
Final Takeaway
John Cena’s heel run is officially the biggest wrestling controversy since someone tried to claim pineapple belongs on pizza. Some fans love it. Some hate it. But everyone is talking about it. And next week on Raw, Cena has a microphone again. That can only mean one thing—chaos is coming.
