John Cena makes surprise appearance at WWE Money in the Bank
With WWE in London for Money in the Bank, one of the company’s biggest legends stopped by for a surprise appearance.
John Cena showed up at Saturday’s pay-per-view and gave a speech praising the United Kingdom crowd. The speech led to Cena campaigning for WWE to hold WrestleMania in London. Cena said the decision isn’t up to him, but he told the crowd to cheer as loud as possible so that the decision-makers could hear what WrestleMania in London would sound like.
“In my mind, there is not a more exciting audience than the audience in the United Kingdom. So I’m here to try to bring WrestleMania to London,” Cena told the crowd. “I’m here right now not for one more match — I’m here because I know when they play those trumpets, people watch and people listen. And right now I want to give something to an audience I love. I want to give them a chance to tell the world, to tell the people who make decisions, what we already know. Take a moment right now. Let them see. Let them feel. Let them hear what WrestleMania is going to sound like in London.”
Cena was then interrupted by Grayson Waller, who wanted WrestleMania to come to Australia instead. Waller said he could get Cena a spot on the show by having him on The Grayson Waller Effect.
Waller brought up Cena’s losses to Austin Theory, Roman Reigns, and The Fiend over the last few years. Waller said he could help Cena save his career by having him on The Grayson Waller Effect in Australia.
When Cena declined, Waller ambushed him. Waller had the advantage until Cena laid him out with an Attitude Adjustment.
This was Cena’s first appearance for WWE since losing to Theory at WrestleMania 39 this April.
WrestleMania 40 is taking place in Philadelphia in 2024. Locations for other future WrestleManias haven’t been confirmed, but it’s expected that Nashville will host WrestleMania 43 in 2027.
