WWE fans can anticipate the return of John Cena to SmackDown on the upcoming episode scheduled for September 15. Cena’s absence from last night’s episode was due to his participation in the WWE Superstar Spectacle event in India, where he teamed up with Seth Rollins to face Imperium’s Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.

This upcoming appearance by Cena on SmackDown is particularly interesting because it is tied to the “Grayson Waller Effect.” Waller and Cena had an interaction at Money In The Bank in London, and Waller has been making waves since his call-up in the 2023 WWE Draft.

Grayson Waller’s transition to SmackDown has seen him share the ring with several top WWE stars, including Logan Paul, Edge, Cody Rhodes, and John Cena himself.

After last night’s announcement of Cena’s return, Waller took to Twitter to humorously thank Cena for the potential boost to his career, saying, “You’re welcome, Kid.”

In recent weeks, Waller has formed an alliance with Austin Theory on SmackDown, sparking speculation that they might join forces to challenge Cena and LA Knight at WWE Fastlane or in upcoming storylines. Cena’s return promises to add more excitement and intrigue to the SmackDown roster.
