John Cena returned to WWE after a long time in September 2023 and had a comparatively long run in the last six years. He has been in television for seven weeks straight on Friday night SmackDown, premium live events and at house shows. Cena’s return to WWE was due to the reason that the Screen Actors Guild- American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike. Cena previously reported at the Fastlane Press Conference, that he would get back to Hollywood after the strike ends. At this stage, recent reports suggest Cena’s current run is almost done.
