John Cena Hypes WWE Return, News on Cena Being Advertised For RAW

16-time World Champion John Cena recently took to Twitter to hype his upcoming WWE ring return at SmackDown & RAW Live Events.
Cena’s upcoming run is scheduled to begin at the live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Wednesday, December 26th and wrap on Monday, January 14th at The RAW TV Show in Memphis, Tennessee at The FedEx Forum. He will work blue and red brand shows in December but The January Live Events are all red brand dates.
Cena recently revealed that his upcoming return is for live events only, not The RAW or SmackDown LIVE TV Shows. It is worth noting that Cena is still scheduled to work The January 7th RAW in Orlando, Florida at The Amway Center and The January 14th RAW in Memphis. The Amway Center has Cena scheduled for one of the dark main events that night, a Six-Man Match with Elias & Finn Balor against Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley & Drew McIntyre.

Cena is advertised for various matches and segments at the other RAW & SmackDown LIVE Events, such as MizTV with The Miz in Long Island, NY and Singles Matches with The Miz in Baltimore, MD and Tampa, FL. Cena is also scheduled to team with Rey Mysterio to face Randy Orton & WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura at The December 29th Live Event in Pittsburgh. Cena was scheduled to team with Balor to face McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler at MSG, but that match was nixed when Drew split with Ziggler.
“I was given the choice of taking one month to catch my breath and live what I would call a normal life. It took me about two seconds to turn that down. On December 26th, I return to Madison Square Garden and do a nice live event run with the WWE right up through the middle of January,” Cena told The Toronto Sun. “None of these shows are televised. I’m literally just doing it because I want to get back to a place I feel most comfortable and to working with people I can call my family. And I want to have some fun.”
Cena stars in The “Bumblebee” Transformers spinoff movie that hits theaters this weekend.
