John Cena to host WWE Payback
John Cena will be hosting Saturday’s WWE Payback event.
Cena officially returned to WWE on Friday’s SmackDown and informed everyone that he was just told that he will be hosting WWE Payback in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Cena will be making a number of appearances on WWE television over the next few months, including WWE’s Superstar Spectacle event in India later this month.
On Friday’s show, Cena was cutting a promo when Jimmy Uso came out and accused Cena of being just like Roman Reigns, except Cena does what he does with a smile. Cena responded by saying that he thought the wrong Uso had quit WWE. Jimmy attempted to retaliate with a superkick, but John Cena countered with the AA.
Here is the lineup for Saturday’s Payback event.
