John Cena proposed to Nikki Bella at Wrestlemania 33 following their win against the Miz and Maryse. Both Cena and Nikki were absent from this weeks episode of Smackdown Live and are expected to take some time off over the next few months.
How long will John Cena be absent for? When should WWE fans expect to see him return for his next feud?
Here is what we know.
It was announced a few months back that Cena landed a big movie role (The Pact), that will be released in 2018. According to PWInsider, filming of the movie reportedly starts on April 19th. Cena is expected to play a leading role in the film and that means he is expected to be off WWE Television for the next few months for filming.
The report from PWInsider also says that filming of The Pact will conclude on June 9th. Assuming that he stays on Smackdown Live during the ‘Superstar Shake-Up’, this would leave Cena able to return for the Money in the Bank PPV event on June 18th.

This would be similar to what he did last year when he took some time off after Wrestlemania 32 and returned a few months later.
Cena could easily return just for Summerslam and Wrestlemania every year but he makes an effort to appear more frequently. He is still considered a part-timer but we have to respect his work ethic and desire to appear as much as he can.
