WWE legend John Cena WILL compete at WrestleMania 35 , according to backstage sources.
With just two weeks to go until the biggest night in the company's calendar, the 16-time world champion is not yet scheduled to appear.
However, thousands of fans heading to the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, April 7 have been hoping for news to the contrary.
The new Hollywood star has been filming Playing With Fire in Vancouver, Canada - a film due to wrap-up six days before WrestleMania .

And the 41-year-old confirmed he will be signing copies of his new children's book Elbow Grease at a store in New York on Friday, April 5.
It was rumoured he would challenge Samoa Joe for the United States Championship, but Joe will now square off against Rey Mysterio at Mania.
Another theory was Cena would be the man to face Kurt Angle in his retirement match, having debuted against the Olympic Gold Medallist in 2002.

But with Angle now set for an underwhelming showdown with Baron Corbin, that option for 'Big Match John' also appears to have been ruled out.
However, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Cena, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, will definitely be in action at the Show of Shows.
Who he will face remains a mystery, but one thing is for sure, it wouldn't feel like WrestleMania without the man who has headlined the event five times.
