With WWE's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view less than a week away, John Cena's highly anticipated return to the ring following an absence of a little over two months due his torn triceps and distended elbow is on the horizon, leaving many people to speculate what his role will be upon returning and how it will shake up the direction of WWE programming that has been established in his absence.
Cena makes his return to the ring Sunday night for the first time since he wrestled Daniel Bryan at WWE's SummerSlam event back on Aug. 18, and he'll appear in the flesh for the first time since the episode of Monday Night RAW following SummerSlam on Aug. 19 where he announced that he'd be missing time due to the surgery.
Cena, who was originally slated to return at the end of January for the Royal Rumble spectacular, will be taking on Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship Sunday, and many fans have been speculating as to what will happen when Cena comes back to action and whether or not he'll have any ring rust from being away for so long. Cena took to Twitter over the weekend, as he did throughout his rehab, to call to WWE fans to pick a side.
Many opinions from the @WWEUniverse about what they will see at #hiac well, pick a side now because in 8 days #cenation knows #WRS

Cena then took to Twitter on Monday, just six days before the pay-per-view, event and posted a tweet saying he can't be stopped while also adding a picture of the WWE's newest T-shirt release for the Cenation leader, coming just in time for his return. The shirt is white and says 'Even Stronger' on the front while the back reads 'U Can't Stop Me.'

There had been some speculation that Cena may return prior to Hell in a Cell to boost the RAW ratings as the WWE's flagship Monday night program has been hitting a ratings lull as of late in Cena's absence, but reports last week indicated that the WWE Superstar will be held off of programming until the pay-per-view to make the build-up to the return that much greater, rather than spoil the event by having the Superstar appear on free TV.
Instead, the WWE has been airing vignettes of Cena's return chronicling his recovery and they had him interrupt Del Rio on the big screen in the arena rather than appear in person as the WWE looks to save that appearance for the pay-per-view.
Cena will make his debut, most likely to a mixed reaction as usual, Sunday night live from the American Airlines Arena in Miami Florida as WWE presents Hell in a Cell.
