The one man who truly moves the needle for WWE is back in the fold, but for how long? Here's everything you need to know heading into the June 27 episode of ...

This is good news for AJ Styles, who got back in the winner’s column in a match against Ciampa last week. Will Lynch be able to find a way into the ladder match this weekend, or is it too late? Matt Riddle failed to qualify for Money in the Bank when he easily lost in four minutes against Omos last week. There are plenty of douchebag heels in the locker room who would love to make a name for themselves at the expense of this WWE legend. Carmella ambushed Belair with a superkick last week, so the champ has a good reason to try getting her hands on the challenger tonight. Cena is one of the most successful wrestlers in WWE history, and there’s a celebration planned tonight to mark 20 years since he debuted with the company.

AEW news: Chris Jericho congratulates John Cena on 20 years in ... (ClutchPoints)

After watching his fellow AEW wrestlers Bryan Danielson and Paul Wight appear on RAW, Chris Jericho got in on the fun to wish John Cena well.

So while fans probably won’t see Jericho back in a WWE ring anytime soon, it’s at least nice to see one of the top dogs in AEW understands his legacy and is willing to give credit to those who helped him get where he is today, be that John Cena or the WWE Universe. Now, for those who don’t know, this isn’t the first time Jericho has been back in WWE at least in a small way, as he appeared on “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions, which is both an audio podcast and a show televised on Peacock. Furthermore, when asked about MJF’s future, Jericho suggested that his much younger former Le Dinner Debonair partner would probably be wise to stick around in Tony Khan’s company but would also understand if he left, as pursuing greatness sometimes means following your own path and that could ultimately end up in WWE. When the men formerly known as Daniel Bryan and The Big Show made an appearance on RAW, at least via video package, to wish John Cena well on 20 years with WWE, it felt like only a matter of time before Chris Jericho, “La Champion” of AEW, found his way back onto the Titantron to show respect to one of his greatest opponents of all time as well.

WWE: John Cena bookends his career at his 20th anniversary ... (ClutchPoints)

If this was the final time John Cena graces a WWE ring for the foreseeable future, at least "The Champ" left the ring with a hero's goodbye.

RAW committed what felt like a third of its TV time to celebrating Cena – as the name would suggest – and when he was given the mic, Mr. “You can’t see me” returned the favor with a speech for the ages and enough crowd work to make the fans in attendance feel like they too could do anything. And yet, in a twist of fate no one saw coming, at least no one who spent good money to see The Marine, Cena became, like, really popular. If that was the last time Cena steps in a ring at least for a very long time, an admission he made in the ring, this was one heck of a way to go out.

John Cena gets his '69 MGC GT converted from a "classic" sleeper to the ultimate "modern" sleeper with a bucketful of American Muscle!

The dashboard has been given a chin-up job with all classic bits replaced with modern elements. It also gets a two-meter long control arm and heavy-duty four-link at the rear. The shop has done a clever job of retaining all of this coupe's classic lines, including that tiny bump on the hood. As for the interior, it has been given a modern makeover and colorful upholstery. Even wilder is the fact that the stock car weighed just 2,100 pounds which makes this LS-swapped creation pack a wicked power-to-weight ratio figure. But it is seldom known that this wrestling star has a car collection of mostly classic cars, that can make others jealous.

Listen to Ring Rust Radio for all of the hot wrestling topics. Bianca broke the news to the WWE Universe last week, however, that Ripley would not be able to compete at Money in the Bank, leading to a Fatal 5-Way to determine her new opponent, which Carmella won. Three weeks ago, Ripley won a Fatal 4-Way match to become No. 1 contender for the Raw women's title and earn a match against Belair at Money in the Bank. WWE announced last week that Rhea Ripley would miss her Raw Women's Championship match against Bianca Belair at Money in the Bank, but WWE reportedly knew well before then that she would be unable to compete. WWE had announced that the match between Owens and Ezekiel was going to determine the final spot in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, but since Money in the Bank is on Saturday, it is now unclear who will receive that spot. This isn't the first time that AEW talent was allowed to appear on WWE programming in some capacity, as Jericho was a guest on Broken Skull Sessions with WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin last year on Peacock.

WWE Raw: John Cena Returns… and So Does Vince McMahon (Bleeding Cool News)

John Cena returned to WWE Raw night on a show devoted to his 20th WWE anniversary, but was the whole thing overshadowed by a scandal-plagued Vince McMahon?

Some soon-to-be-forgotten feuds were advanced for the PPV. Logan Paul was promised for SummerSlam. But mostly, this period in WWE history will go down as either Vince McMahon's last stand or a defiant victory lap, and it could be weeks or months before we know which one it is. Though Cena's gooey speech focused on his relationship with the crowd, assuring viewers that his recent Hollywood success is not his own accomplishment, but their together (where's our cut of the money then?), McMahon's garish attachment pulled the focus onto the scandals that threaten to bring down the sports entertainment mastermind and WWE's stock prices with him. Amidst a long-running ratings downturn, John Cena returned to WWE Raw last night, spiking ticket sales and probably viewership.
