Bittersweet day today as I begin another night in Atlanta. Such a funny movie but #SDLive @WWE is so close! 7/4 can't get here fast enough!

Cena is being advertised for the July 4 SmackDown in Phoenix and it looks like that will be his return date (unless he makes a surprise appearance before then).
SmackDown was in Atlanta tonight, where Cena is currently shooting the movie “The Pact.” Shooting for the movie is set to wrap on June 9.
