I’m especially thrilled to connect with the passionate WWE Universe in India and to engage in my very first wrestling match on Indian soil. The moment is ripe, and I eagerly await it. See you all very soon!”

Cena’s last in-ring appearance dates back to WrestleMania 39 in April, where he squared off against Austin Theory for the United States Championship. Throughout the bout, Cena displayed his prowess, maintaining the upper hand. Yet, he eventually succumbed to the relentless determination of Theory, who secured a victory with his iconic A-Town Down move. Cena pleasantly surprised fans with an unexpected appearance at Money in the Bank at London’s The O2 Arena last month. During this appearance, he passionately advocated for London to host a future WrestleMania, earning hearty applause from the spirited English crowd.
