John Cena is widely recognized as one of the greatest of all time in professional wrestling, having won the World Championship 16 times. In the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, he made a triumphant return and wasted no time in setting up a massive match for WrestleMania 39. In fact, he could tie an all-time record at WrestleMania 39, should Cena win the match.
On the latest episode of WWE RAW, fans eagerly awaited John Cena’s highly-anticipated comeback. Upon receiving a thunderous ovation from the live crowd, Cena was visibly emotional. He engaged in a fiery exchange with Austin Theory, which culminated in a pivotal moment when Cena agreed to face him in an epic match at WrestleMania 39.
WrestleMania 39 will feature a high-stakes match between John Cena and Austin Theory, with Theory’s United States title on the line. Cena, who hasn’t won a singles match in WWE since 2018, is determined to end his losing streak and clinch the title.
If Cena triumphs at ‘Mania, he will join an elite list of wrestling legends by tying a 27-year-old record. The iconic Ric Flair currently holds the record for the most US Title reigns in history, having won the title six times. Flair achieved this feat by defeating Konnan at WCW Bash at The Beach 1996, cementing his status as a wrestling icon.
It’s worth noting that John Cena has won all of his United States titles while competing under the WWE banner. As of now, Cena is tied with legendary wrestlers Chris Benoit, Wahoo McDaniel, Lex Luger, and Bret Hart, with all five of them having held the US Title five times throughout their careers.
As previously reported, John Cena was given creative control to produce the highly-anticipated segment on WWE RAW. The company had faith in Cena’s ability to execute the segment to perfection. It remains to be seen how WWE will continue to build the feud between Cena and Theory leading up to WrestleMania 39. However, fans are eagerly anticipating Cena’s return to the Grandest Stage Of Them All and are excited to see what’s in store for him.
