John Cena and Theory exchanged a few words on social media before Cena returned to celebrate his 20th anniversary in WWE last week. Many fans thought both superstars would be facing each other at SummerSlam. However, Cena made it clear that he doesn’t know when he will wrestle again.
United States Champion Bobby Lashley kicked off last night’s Monday Night RAW, where Mr. Money in the Bank Theory interrupted Lashley. Then, Theory challenged Bobby Lashley to a match at SummerSlam for the United States Championship. Later, WWE officially announced the bout for SummerSlam, which means the rumored John Cena vs. Theory match has been postponed for the show of shows.

Recently, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Cena vs. Theory match could be happening at WrestleMania 39.
However, Cena is not announced for any future TV dates, and given how many tickets he moved in Laredo, if he was announced for a show, he’d move more tickets right now than anyone except Dwayne Johnson. So it makes no sense not to advertise him. But they wouldn’t do such a match without more of an angle. So the match, which is clearly a direction, may also be delayed for WrestleMania.
We can understandable that John Cena has a busy schedule in Hollywood. However, WrestleMania 39 will gain a lot more attention if John Cena and The Rock participate in their respective matches at the show of shows.
We will update you when we receive more details. Stay tuned with The Spotlight.
