16-time World Champion John Cena is set to return to WWE television on the July 4th episode of SmackDown Live from Phoenix, Arizona.
WWE released a new promo video hyping Cena’s return and it’s worth noting that Cena is listed as a “Free Agent” in the video. The free agency indicates that we could see John Cena turn up on Monday Night RAW this summer.
With RAW viewership hovering below 3 million weekly viewers over the past month, Cena could be the star power RAW needs to boost interest in the show.
Cena has been absent from WWE TV since WrestleMania, when he proposed to longtime girlfriend Nikki Bella.
