John Cena announced for WWE Royal Rumble
John Cena will be one of the entrants in this year’s Royal Rumble.
Cena returned to Raw on Monday night, with it being announced that he’ll be in the men’s Royal Rumble match later this month. Cena cut a promo before being interrupted by Drew McIntyre. A brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley had opened the show, and it led to Rollins, Cena & Finn Balor defeating Dean Ambrose, Lashley & McIntyre in a six-man tag match.
Cena made his return to WWE TV on last week’s SmackDown, taking part in a segment with Becky Lynch and teaming with her against Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega.
