Forecasting John Cena's Schedule with WWE in 2023 (Bleacher Report)

John Cena has wrestled at least one match on television during every calendar year since he debuted in 2002, but he only managed to keep that streak alive ...

The United States champion has a big chip on his shoulder and wants to prove himself against someone who has been called the best, and he has dropped Cena's name more than once. Ultimately, the ball is in the Hollywood star's court. For most people in this business, performing at the WWE showpiece is at the top of their bucket list. Needless to say, he has lived the dream and then some. He is in demand in Hollywood and probably enjoys not having to take bumps multiple times a week. But he still clearly loves to get in front of a crowd and mix it up inside the ring when his schedule allows.
