Although John Cena has been the face of WWE for a long time, he has not been fighting for wrestling promotion in recent years. He addressed this and said, “Man, I wish I was still there every day. I just can’t. My body can’t do it anymore and I don’t want to give the consumer a bad product.” This actually shows true sportsman spirit!
This will also be the first time the Superstar Spectacle event will be hosted in front of a live crowd.
John Cena seems quite excited for his WWE return as he rightly said on Twitter how excited he is for this and especially meeting his Indian fans!
