John Cena is one star who has taken a back seat in the last few years. 2019 was his least-active year since joining WWE, having only wrestled a couple of times in January, helping put over Becky Lynch and Finn Balor before leaving again.

He did, however, appear at WrestleMania 35, confronting Elias using his Doctor of Thuganomics persona after years. There has been a lot of speculation about Cena’s return in 2020 and a potential match at WrestleMania 36.

Tom Colohue dropped the unfortunate backstage news that the 16-time World Champion isn’t expected to wrestle at the grandest stage of them all. He could, however, return when the time is right:

He mentioned that there are rumblings backstage about the future of John Cena and that soon enough, he can’t be classified as a “part-timer” either:

He added that around this time last year, he wasn’t expected to return but he did so out of wanting to work with Becky Lynch. The Rock would do the same thing 9 months later:

John Cena has earned his time away from WWE but there’s no denying that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Hopefully, we get to see him this year in a small run. There’s no denying that his aura has grown the longer he’s been away from the company.
