The world of WWE was rocked with not one, but two stunning returns at Money in the Bank this past month in London. Wrestling fans across the globe bore witness to the triumphant return of Drew McIntyre as he set his sights on Intercontinental Champion Gunther, but that wasn’t all. That same night, 25-time Champion John Cena made an unexpected return, declaring his ambition to bring WrestleMania to London.

McIntyre’s Challenge to Gunther

Drew McIntyre, the UK’s own wrestling superstar, made his comeback by confronting Gunther, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, who had just defeated Matt Riddle. The confrontation sets up an exciting clash between McIntyre and Gunther at SummerSlam 2023 for the Intercontinental Championship.

Cena’s Surprise Return

However, the evening’s biggest shock came in the form of John Cena’s unexpected return. With 25 championships under his belt, Cena’s appearance took the fans by surprise as he pushed for the idea of hosting WrestleMania in London.

Dutch Mantell Weighs In

In an exclusive conversation on Smack Talk with host SP3, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell was asked about the more impactful return between Cena and McIntyre. Despite McIntyre hailing from the UK, Mantell asserted that Cena’s return had a more significant impact:

“[John] Cena. Even though Drew [McIntyre] is from the UK, I think Cena was the most impactful because they didn’t expect it. Since Drew is from there, it would have been a surprise but a surprise they would understand. Cena was the one.”

Cena’s Impact on WWE

Mantell’s statement underlines Cena’s massive appeal and the element of surprise that has always been part of his character. His unexpected appearance and the announcement of his ambition to bring WrestleMania to London further cements his status as one of the most influential figures in WWE history.

The Road to SummerSlam 2023

As the dust settles from the shocking events of Money in the Bank, fans are now eagerly looking forward to SummerSlam 2023. With Drew McIntyre set to face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship, and the potential ramifications of Cena’s surprising declaration, the stage is set for an unforgettable summer of wrestling action.

Conclusion

The world of WWE never ceases to amaze, and the latest returns of both John Cena and Drew McIntyre have set the wrestling world abuzz. While McIntyre’s homecoming is significant in its own right, the endorsement of Cena’s return by wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell only adds to the intrigue and excitement as WWE heads into a sizzling summer season.
