WWE Announces John Cena for Major Post-WrestleMania 41 Show
WWE confirms John Cena for Raw after WrestleMania 41, following his championship match against Cody Rhodes in Las Vegas.

WWE has locked in John Cena for a significant television appearance following the company’s biggest event of the year. The 16-time world champion will be featured on the April 21 edition of Raw, which takes place immediately after WrestleMania weekend concludes.
This Raw appearance in Las Vegas comes just one day after Cena squares off against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on April 20, the second night of WrestleMania 41. The championship bout between these two top stars is reportedly set to establish an important record, though specific details about this milestone have not been disclosed by WWE officials.
Cena’s WrestleMania week schedule includes multiple appearances across WWE programming. Before his title match and subsequent Raw appearance, he will also feature on the final SmackDown before WrestleMania, scheduled for April 18. Rhodes, the current WWE Champion who will defend against Cena at WrestleMania, is also confirmed for this pre-event SmackDown broadcast.
WWE has announced several other prominent roster members for the post-WrestleMania Raw alongside Cena. The lineup includes Gunther, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Jey Uso, and Lyra Valkyria, suggesting the company is positioning this episode as a significant follow-up to their premier annual event.
The Raw after WrestleMania traditionally features major developments and surprise appearances, making Cena’s confirmed booking particularly noteworthy for fans following the conclusion of WWE’s showcase event.
John Cena is now being advertised for the 'WWE Raw after WrestleMania' show.
