Backstage News on John Cena’s WWE TV Return Status Following His Appearance at WrestleMania 32

April 5, 2016

As noted, John Cena claimed in an interview with Complex Magazine during WrestleMania 32 week that he is medically cleared to return to the ring and is simply waiting for “the call” from WWE officials regarding his return to TV.

Despite this claim, however, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio is reporting Cena did not appear on WWE Raw last night because he might not actually be cleared for a full-time return to the ring. He might have been healthy enough to do the segment with The Wyatt Family and The Rock at WrestleMania 32, but backstage talk is that he is not yet ready for a full-time in ring return.

Prior to WrestleMania 32, in late March, reports noted that Cena might not actually be ready to return full-time until July, and since Cena is known for returning from injury sooner than expected, it’s most likely he could be back around mid-May or June.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
