Speaking on Busted Open Radio, 16-time world champion John
Cena talked about his WrestleMania 39 match against Austin
Theory.
“I’m at a point where everything I have in comparison to the
bar that’s been set, boy, what I have is what you saw at
WrestleMania 39,” Cena said, addressing some online
commentary that he “didn’t turn up” for the show.
Cena said that what we saw is what he feels confident that
he can deliver and that’s okay for an appearance here and
there, but not good enough for every day in WWE. He said his
body cannot do it anymore and he doesn’t want to give fans a
bad product.
“That’s not every day in sports entertainment. Sports
entertainment has raised the bar and I’m humble enough to
say that’s awesome because you’re supposed to leave it
better than you found it,” Cena said.
Cena also spoke about his entrance with the Make-A-Wish
Foundation kids and how awesome it was to give the kids the
perspective of the ramp, looking out at a stadium filled to
the rafters.
“It’s mythical having that WrestleMania entrance being able
to do that for a group of people, like take as many as you
can. I don’t care how thin my slice of the stage is. Let’s
give that perspective to people who enjoy it and yeah,
probably could use a little joy in their life,” Cena
continued.
Cena also discussed Roman Reigns, who he described as the
face of the franchise and the greatest of all time.
“I love that Roman Reigns did it his own way. He’s made
himself exclusive and in doing so he’s brought like eight
people with him,” Cena added. “He’s allowed the whole
Bloodline to get over. With me, I could only help the person
I was working with, when I was working with them.”
