Cena’s last match came in January 2019 when he, Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre were defeated by Finn Balor in a Fatal Fourway to determine the No.1 contender for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Title.

Now his next match has officially been confirmed after he was challenged by Bray Wyatt for a one-on-one clash at the Showcase of the Immortals on April 5.

Cena came out to announce he would miss this year’s Mania as he wants to opportunity to go to a full-time wrestler instead, which was met with huge jeers.

The Leader of the Cenation then made his exit to the back, but just as he was saying his goodbyes on the ramps, off went the lights.

Once back on the ominous Fiend was stood behind him but instead of attacking the now Hollywood actor, he simply just pointed to the WrestleMania sign.
