WWE Brings John Cena to NXT

WWE.com confirmed Tuesday afternoon that John Cena will appear in a segment on tonight’s NXT.

“Tonight NXT welcomes one of the most dominant and respected Superstars of the current era, none other than John Cena,” reads the announcement. “Tune into SyFy at 10/9 CT for Cena’s in-ring address to the potential superstars of tomorrow, the NXT rookies.”

The featuring of John Cena appears to be in direct response to last week’s marked ratings decline, although it is interesting that WWE did not greatly publicize the appearance outside of its website.

When ECW first made its debut on Sci-Fi, the company utilized guest appearances from WWE Superstars to boost interest in the program. It will be interesting to see if WWE regularly features these crossovers.
