Cena, who last wrestled on television on the New Year's Eve edition of "WWE SmackDown," was already speculated to appear at the marquee event given that the promotion has advertised he'll be on "WWE Raw" next week to address the crowd. Major WWE stars often return to the promotion in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania each year to be confronted by an opponent ahead of a planned match.

Cena is scheduled to appear on "Raw" next week in Boston, Massachusetts, where WWE will likely lay out its plans for the returning superstar.

WrestleMania 39 will also take place in Los Angeles, California and has been branded under the tag line, "WrestleMania Goes Hollywood," raising expectations even more that crossover stars like Cena would make an appearance in some form. Cena's stock in Hollywood has skyrocketed in recent years, appearing in major film franchises like "Fast & Furious" and the DC Universe's "The Suicide Squad." The wrestler-turned-actor has also held starring roles in television series like HBO's "Peacemaker," as well as being a co-host on the competition show "Wipeout."
