John Cena is back.
Roman Reigns smashed another one at WWE Money in the Bank, defeating Edge and retaining the WWE Universal Championship.
After the bout, Reigns stated, "Now the whole world can acknowledge me."
The familiar horns of "My Time Is Now" hit the Dickies Arena as John Cena officially made his return to WWE television. Cena stood across the ring from Reigns and hit him with the "you can't see me" as the crowd gave him a thunderous ovation.
