WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to address WWE Universe

John Cena to appear live

The 17-time WWE World Champion, John Cena, not only lost the title at SummerSlam, but also was attacked by Brock Lesnar, who made his earth-shattering return during the final moments of the show after the main event. Cena will likely address the attack and would likely kick off his feud with Lesnar, only this time fans would get the ‘real’ John Cena.
