John Cena headlined the latest edition of Raw with his triumphant return. The sixteen-time World Champion made his first-ever appearance in 2023. During his segment, he was confronted by Austin Theory. The United States Champion made his way into the ring to offer a “gift” to the wrestling legend, a title shot at Austin Theory’s United States Championship at WrestleMania. While Cena initially refused the offer, he was forced into accepting the challenge subsequently.
After verbally destroying Theory, the 45-year-old made his way backstage, however, he stopped for a moment to usher The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes.
A ramped-up Cody Rhodes came out and hugged John Cena. The duo then briefly has a chat before closing the segment. Some fans read Cena’s lips that said something like- “I can’t promise that”. So, what did Cody Rhodes ask of John Cena?

From what I can gather-
Cody did ask Cena on the ramp during #WWERAW to promise him that he would get the opportunity to have a match or a moment with Cena like Theory did before he was done.Cena said, “I can’t promise that. I don’t know how many I have left in me”.
