John Cena teases ‘something epic’ for WWE Backlash
John Cena is teasing that he will have a role at WWE Backlash.
The PLE takes place on Saturday, May 9 at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Cena, who turned 49 years old on Thursday, posted to social media saying he has promised Club WWE something special and is going to try to do “something epic” on the show.
Cena wrote:
“Man if only it were 2023 again!! I might have different business at @WWE #Backlash
Alas, the years pass. I am still gonna try to do something epic in Tampa for 5/9. I promised Club WWE something special… stay tuned.”
No matches have been announced so far for Backlash. However, our own Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that before the decision was made to drop the Pat McAfee storyline, McAfee and Randy Orton were scheduled to team against Jelly Roll and Cody Rhodes. With McAfee opting out of continuing with WWE, the match is no longer expected to take place.
Cena’s full post is available below. The post he is responding to incorrectly lists his age as 45.
