Wrestling icon John Cena's recent stint with WWE, his most extended in over half a decade, came to an unexpected halt following the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Having last appeared in the squared circle at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, Cena's tenure was marked by high anticipation each week from the WWE universe.

His last match at Crown Jewel saw Cena fall to the rising star Solo Sikoa, in a bout that showcased Cena's fighting spirit despite the defeat. The aftermath hinted at Cena's possible retreat from wrestling, with retirement rumors swirling post-match.

John Cena's formidable presence as a 16-time World Champion has left an indelible mark in the annals of WWE history. His recent return was made possible by the ongoing actors' strike, which granted him the bandwidth to commit to a regular WWE schedule.

Fans were treated to a series of memorable performances that recaptured the essence of Cena's wrestling prowess.

SAG-AFTRA Strike Ends

Variety reported the cessation of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which casts uncertainty over Cena's immediate WWE future.

As the actors' union announced on Wednesday, the lengthy 118-day strike will formally conclude at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, allowing performers to resume their scheduled projects. The tentative agreement, passed unanimously by the union's negotiating committee, is pending approval by the SAG-AFTRA national board this Friday.

Though union members are poised to ratify the new deal, a process that could span over a week, the lifting of the strike's restrictions means an inevitable return to film and television roles for many actors, including Cena.

This development implies that Cena's WWE appearances may become more sporadic as he balances his dual careers in entertainment and wrestling. As Cena's WWE chapter remains open yet unwritten, speculation abounds on the timing and nature of his return to the ring.

Fans eagerly await the next opportunity to chant "You can't see me!" as they anticipate the comeback of their cherished superstar. Whether it's for a final hurrah or a continued showcase of his legendary career, Cena's future within WWE is a topic of much excitement and discussion among the wrestling community.
