After announcing his retirement in December 2025, John Cena will make an unexpected return to World Wrestling Entertainment at WrestleMania 42, confirmed as the official host of the two‑night event in Las Vegas on 18 and 19 April 2026.
The 17‑time world champion's appearance marks his first WWE involvement since retiring from in‑ring competition late last year, adding high‑profile star power to the buildup towards the biggest show on the wrestling calendar. Cena's comeback role was announced via a video he shared on social media, where he teased his involvement ahead of the Las Vegas spectacle.
