John Cena makes major announcement on his status at 2018 WWE Royal Rumble

He will be at the Royal Rumble.

John Cena is officially entering the 2018 WWE Royal Rumble match.

The former 16-time WWE Champion made the announcement on New Year's Day.

We're not certain how this relates to his big-time rumored WrestleMania match, but it will likely somehow set up plans for the granddaddy of them all.

Cena returned to Monday Night Raw in a match with up-and-comer Elias. He also appeared at Survivor Series as a member of Team Smackdown, and his last huge showdown was against Roman Reigns at No Mercy.

We're getting close to WrestleMania season, folks!
