John Cena is officially returning to WWE, this time as the host of WrestleMania 42.
Cena announced on social media, confirming that he will be part of the biggest event of the year in Las Vegas. He noted that while his path has changed since retirement, he is still heading back to WrestleMania.
The former champion stepped away from in-ring competition in December, closing out his career with a final match against Gunther. His last WrestleMania appearance saw him compete in the main event, where he defeated Cody Rhodes to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship.
