AEW stars Bryan Danielson, Chris Jericho, and Paul Wight appeared via video on Raw tonight congratulating John Cena on the 20th anniversary of his debut.

Danielson and Wight, who appeared under their WWE names Daniel Bryan and The Big Show, were the first to congratulate Cena. Later, Jericho appeared in another segment, also congratulating Cena.

Others that appeared throughout the night to congratulate Cena include Trish Stratus, John Bradshaw Layfield, Kurt Angle, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Randy Orton.

Cena appeared at the start of tonight’s Raw, with the roster appearing backstage to congratulate everyone. He also appeared in backstage segments with The Street Profits and later Theory, who ran down Cena. He attempted to take a selfie with Cena, but he walked away before Theory could take the photo. He later appeared in an in-ring segment thanking the fans.

Cena made his televised main roster debut on the June 27, 2002 episode of SmackDown, where he faced Kurt Angle in his debut match.
