John Cena has confirmed he will be returning to a WWE ring and will be debuting a new finisher on September 1 at a live event in Shanghai after SummerSlam.

Rumours have suggested that Cena will come back to WWE for a WrestleMania 34 rematch against The Undertaker at the biggest Pay-Per-View event of the summer on August 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

However, there has been no confirmation regarding the two WWE legends’ availability ahead of SummerSlam and so The Champ’s next scheduled appearance will take place next month in China.

The 16-time world champion told WWE.com that he is also keen to showcase a new move he picked up during his training at Jackie Chan’s JC Stunt Team International Training Centre ahead of his upcoming movie Project X.




‘There’s talk of a September 1st event in Shanghai and I couldn’t think of a better way to show my appreciation for China, the Chinese people and Chinese culture than to debut what I think is a finishing move that will provide me much victory in Shanghai on September 1st,’ he said.

The ex-WWE Champion is also set to make an appearance at WWE Super Show-Down on October 6 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia where legendary rivals Undertaker and Triple H will wrestle for the last time ever.

Fans have been wanting to see Cena and Taker locking horns once more after their impromptu bout at WrestleMania four months ago at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Deadman destroyed The Leader of the Cenation in less than three minutes with just one Chokeslam and a Tombstone Piledriver.

Cena’s last WWE match took place at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia shortly after Mania where he beat Triple H.

He is now a part-time WWE superstar as he is following in the footsteps of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and making a name for himself in Hollywood.

The former World Heavyweight Champion has worked with some of the industry’s biggest names like Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Schumer in movies like Daddy’s Home 2, Trainwreck and Blockers.
