WWE ends 2016 with championship matches and John Cena’s return tonight on SmackDown and 205 Live.
For SmackDown, WWE has announced Cena’s return to TV as well as a main event of WWE Champion AJ Styles defending against Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. Other matches announced include Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and The Wyatt Family defending the SmackDown Tag Team Championships against The Usos, American Alpha and Slater & Rhyno in a Four Corners Elimination Match.
WWE did not elaborate on Cena’s return but they wrote the following in their Five Point Preview:
“What will Cena have to say to the WWE Universe? Will he have his eyes squarely on the WWE Championship? Or has someone else drawn the ire of the Cenation?”
For 205 Live, Jack Gallagher will face Ariya Daivari in the first ever “Gentlemen’s Duel” while the main event will see Rich Swann defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Neville.
