Cena recently appeared on the latest episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He spoke about his match with Reigns and discussed his comeback and appreciation for the fans.

“Dude, it was great. I had a wonderful match. I finished second place… I had a month off and they [WWE] were like, ‘Hey, you wanna come to work?’ I was like, ‘Do I?!’ and they said, ‘Live audiences are back,’ and I love live audiences.”

“That was nice [wearing jorts again]. There is no better feeling than being in front of a live audience. I’m so grateful to have all of you here. I’m so grateful to be back with a live audience. There is no other energy like performing or entertaining, telling stories or just shooting the s*** in front of a live audience. So thank you very much.”

During his recent return, Cena only wrestled once on WWE TV. However, he also fought and won 13 untelevised matches in the lead up to SummerSlam. He teamed up with Dominik Mysterio and Rey Mysterio in 11 of those matches to defeat Reigns and The Usos.
