Update On John Cena’s Moving Schedule And WWE SummerSlam

John Cena’s rumored WWE return at SummerSlam reportedly will not be impacted by his movie schedule. As we’ve noted, Cena is rumored to return to WWE to challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns at SummerSlam on August 21 in Las Vegas. There was some speculation on Cena’s return after last week he was announced for the new “Argylle” movie franchise. The first film in the franchise will start filming in Europe this August.

In an update, multiple sources now report that the filming of “Argylle” in Europe next month will not affect Cena’s return at SummerSlam.

It was noted by Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast that Cena’s movie schedule is a “non-issue” and that he’s still expected to wrestle at SummerSlam. Furthermore, Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Cena’s filming schedule is not expected to be a hurdle for WWE, and whatever is planned to happen at SummerSlam is still a go.

There is still no word on when Cena will be brought back to the WWE storylines to begin the feud with Reigns. Cena has not been mentioned on WWE TV as of late, and has been away from WWE since losing to “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 37 in 2020. Reigns is scheduled to defend against WWE Hall of Famer Edge at Money In the Bank this coming Sunday.
