John Cena teased “history-making news” at WWE’s upcoming premium live event Backlash on Monday as he’s set to appear on the show in some form.
Cena ended his in-ring career in December, losing his retirement match against Gunther. It was possible that Cena might have been finished with WWE for a while, but he reappeared at WrestleMania 42 as the host. He wrote on social media that he was going to appear at Backlash.
