The Madison Square Garden SmackDown episode is being advertised as a “Supershow” that will feature the top stars of both SmackDown and Raw.

Cena returned to WWE programming at Money in the Bank, appearing for the first time since his Firefly Fun House match against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 36. Cena then made appearances on last Monday’s Raw, last Friday’s SmackDown, and at WWE’s house shows in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Louisville, Kentucky over the weekend.

Cena returned to the ring in a dark match after last Friday’s SmackDown, teaming with Rey & Dominik Mysterio to defeat Roman Reigns & The Usos. That match also took place at WWE’s Pittsburgh and Louisville house shows.

Cena is expected to challenge for Reigns’ Universal Championship at SummerSlam. The pay-per-view is taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, August 21.

The SmackDown episode at Madison Square Garden will be WWE’s first show at “The World’s Most Famous Arena” since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
