Wrestling fans are calling for John Cena and Randy Orton to return to WWE to retain Ric Flair and John Cena's World Championships record. WWE Hall of Famer Flair and wrestling legend Cena have won 16 World Championships in their careers. But this record is in danger as Charlotte Flair, the 14-time World Champion, might be the first to attain the 17th number.

The Nature Boy's daughter made a surprise visit to WWE on the latest episode of SmackDown where she faced The Empress of Tomorrow during the WWE Women's Championship belt presentation. Charlotte had made it clear that she desired a championship bout against Asuka. The fight was then made official for the June 30 episode of SmackDown, the night before Money in the Bank.

Charlotte has held more major titles than any other woman in WWE history. The former Divas Champion, seven-time SmackDown Women's Champion, and six-time RAW Women's Champion is now aiming to break Ric Flair and John Cena's world record. If the 37-year-old manages to defeat Japanese wrestler Asuka, she will inch closer to claiming the record.

Fans on Twitter are calling for the return of Cena and Orton because they don't want to see Charlotte becoming the first 17-time World Champion. "Charlotte breaking Ric Flairs record would be such a downgrade over Cena or Orton breaking it," one user commented. "If she does, we ain't counting it," wrote another user.

Check out some of the fan reactions below:

Cena or Orton need to save wrestling, we can not let her be the one to break that 16 world title record.

They gonna do a fingerpoke of doom moment where they just have Charlotte and Asuka repeatedly beat each other because you said this

It would be the most forced record in WWE history, she shouldn't break it at all, should be Cena

it can't be Orton because he needs to win 3 more and he's probably retiring soon so it should be Cena he just needs 1 more

Bianca Belair may interfere in the Charlotte-Asuka match

Meanwhile, American wrestler Bianca Belair expressed her displeasure with Charlotte getting a match at the WWE Women's Champion before her. Belair might interfere in the contest between Charlotte and Asuka, resulting in a triple threat event at Money in the Bank.

"Been processing what went down last night. So let me get this straight. I did exactly what was asked of me. I agreed to let Asuka have her moment as long as I got my REMATCH JUST for Charlotte to come out, demand and get handed a REMATCH? Am I trippin or am I trippin?" she wrote on Twitter.
