Grayson Waller Effect with John Cena set for next week’s WWE SmackDown

John Cena is returning to SmackDown next week.

Grayson Waller announced during Austin Theory’s match against LA Knight on Friday’s show that Cena will be appearing on his Grayson Waller Effect talk show next week. Additionally, The Miz will face LA Knight in a rematch from WWE Payback.

Cena has had history between both Waller and Theory. Cena was first confronted by Waller earlier this year, with the two meeting at Money in the Bank in London. After Waller suggested WrestleMania should take place in Australia instead of the UK, Cena laid him out with the AA. Earlier this year, Cena lost to Theory in a match that took place at WrestleMania.

After Knight defeated Theory on Friday, he went into Adam Pearce’s office and asked for a match against The Miz, which was granted. Despite Knight pinning Miz at Payback, Miz has since complained that Cena was an unfair referee. Before leaving Pearce’s office, Knight had a brief confrontation with Paul Heyman.

Here’s the lineup for next week’s SmackDown:

• LA Knight vs. The Miz
• The Grayson Waller Effect with guest John Cena
