However, his fans will have a chance to see him once again in the coming days, with WWE confirming on Twitter the wrestler's imminent comeback.

According to the wrestling company, Cena will be appearing on Monday, June 27, during a Raw episode.

"John Cena returns to #WWERaw on Monday, June 27 to celebrate his 20 Year Anniversary with WWE," the company said in a tweet.

It however remains unclear if Cena will wrestle anyone during the appearance, with GiveMeSport reporting that it would be surprising to see the 16-time World Champion wrestle on the broadcast.

The appearance is also expected to be a one-off affair as Cena is currently understood to have a hectic movie schedule preventing him from making a full-time return to WWE.

Meanwhile, Cena's comeback coincides with his 20th anniversary with the WWE, having made his debut around the same time back in 2002.

At the time, the Hollywood star faced Kurt Angle in a singles action but lost the match.

However, he went on to have an illustrious 20-year career in the ring that saw him win the WWE Championship on 16 occasions.

WWE has been releasing a series of videos on Cena to celebrate the 45-year-old's remarkable wrestling career.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported WWE icon Ric Flair is in line to make a wrestling comeback at the end of July at the Nashville Fairgrounds.

Details of the match, which has been touted as Flair's last, remain scanty, with his opponent yet to be confirmed.

The Nature Boy, who made a name for himself during his three stints with the WWE, enjoyed a successful wrestling career spanning more than 40 years.
