John Cena says he will be making a major announcement that will “shock the very foundation of WWE”. Cena is set to appear at Backlash in Tampa, Florida.
Cena’s Announcement Teased
Cena made the announcement on his X account. He said the announcement would shock everyone from fans to superstars and champions to rookies.
“In just a few days, I have a major announcement inside this building that’s going to shock the very foundation of WWE, from its fans to its superstars, its champions down to its rookies,” Cena said. “I am so grateful Tampa is allowing me to make this announcement.”
Could it be Club WWE?
The company has been teasing a new feature for fans called Club WWE. WWE announced the launch of Club WWE in April.
A gold membership would give fans the ability to have exclusive 24-hour ticket presale access, a members-only WWE Shop, bonus WWE content, a community forum, a rewards system and a welcome back for founding members.
Cena said in an April press release: “Our fans are the heartbeat of WWE, and everything we do begins with them. Club WWE is about bringing that connection to life in a bigger way – through exclusive access, unique experiences and a true sense of community. It’s a premium destination built to reward passion and give our most dedicated fans a meaningful way to engage with WWE all year round.”
Backlash Details
Backlash will take place at Benchmark International Arena. The event starts at 6 p.m. ET and can be seen on ESPN programming.
Cena’s in-ring career came to an end in December when he lost to Gunther on “Saturday Night’s Main Event.” He was announced as the host for WrestleMania 42 and appeared in Las Vegas to announce the attendance, welcome Bianca Belair for her pregnancy revelation and had a segment with Danhausen, The Miz and Kit Wilson.
