Carrying a custom towel gifted to him by Ellen DeGeneres that read “Be kind to one another,” John Cena returned to the blue brand for the first time in nearly a year. The 16-time World Champion reflected on the ups and downs of his 2018, but he revealed that he wasn’t quite sure why he was back on Team Blue. However, he was positive that “any man” would soon be waltzing down to the ring to call him out.
It wasn’t just any man, though. The Man came around.
Lynch brazenly declared that her goal wasn’t only to displace Charlotte Flair on posters – she wanted Cena’s spot too. And if Cena had a problem with that, The Man warned The Cenation Leader that Nikki Bella wouldn’t be the only woman to drop him this year.
Before Cena could respond, however, Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega arrived to run down the two Superstars, calling Cena an “old face” and Lynch a “broken face.” After the insults were out of the way, Cena issued a challenge: Almas & Vega vs. Cena and Lynch, right now!
