John Cena has officially confirmed that he will be appearing at this Saturday’s WWE Backlash event in Tampa, Florida — and according to the Undisputed WWE Champion, he plans to make a major announcement.
Taking to X on Monday, Cena revealed that he will be live at Backlash inside Benchmark Arena and teased that he’ll be delivering “history-making” news during the show.
While keeping the details under wraps, Cena hinted that whatever is planned could have a significant impact on both WWE talent and fans moving forward.
“I can’t promise it will be perfect,” Cena wrote, “but I can promise it will change the WWE experience for Superstars and fans.”
This latest tease follows a message Cena posted on April 23, where he told fans he was still planning to do “something epic” in Tampa on May 9. At the time, he specifically referenced Club WWE and encouraged fans to stay tuned for further updates.
Speculation surrounding Cena’s involvement grew over the weekend after the venue began advertising him for the premium live event.
WWE Backlash will stream live this Saturday, with the event airing on ESPN Unlimited in the United States and on Netflix internationally. WWE also announced that the first hour of the show will be available free on ESPN 2 for U.S. viewers.
The event is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM PT.
