For the first time in fifteen years…

Former 16-time WWE World Champion John Cena shared on Twitter earlier today what can be confirmed by taking a look at the updated lineup for this year’s SummerSlam PPV which is that Cena will not be a part of this year’s “Biggest Party Of The Summer”.

John Cena made his SummerSlam debut in 2004 when he defeated Booker T in the first match of a five match series for the WWE United States Championship. Since then, Cena has been a part of the SummerSlam activities and has main-evented a number of the PPV’s. Last year Cena opened SummerSlam by defeating Baron Corbin in ten minutes. This year’s card will not feature John Cena as for the first time in fifteen years, Cena will not be a part of SummerSlam.

First time in 15 years I have not been able to be a part of @WWE #SummerSlam. I am beyond grateful to @EyeOfJackieChan but truly miss the @WWEUniverse. Wishing all Superstars luck and safety! My time isn’t quite up, but #YourTimeIsNow! #CarpeDiem
