John Cena On WrestleMania 37: ‘If This Were Normal Times, I Would Be There’

John Cena has been open about not appearing at WrestleMania 37. Some have thought that he is merely delaying a surprise return, but now he has once again said he won’t be there.

Speaking to Forbes, Cena mentioned that if there was no pandemic he would be there. He also added that because he is currently filming Peacemaker in Canada, the mandatory quarantine involved with flying to WrestleMania makes an appearance impossible. Here is the quote:

“If this were normal times, I would 100% be there. I’d find a way to contribute somehow. I’ve sat in the crowd as a fan. I’ll do whatever the event asks me to because it means that much to me, and WWE means that much to me, but I’m in Vancouver shooting Peacemakerfor HBO Max. It’s a spinoff series based on my character from Suicide Squad, Peacemaker. It’s an unbelievable opportunity, James Gunn has written the whole thing, he’s directing a bunch of the episodes.

This is something that I’m inspired to do. Because of the quarantine law, if I were to fly to the states for Sunday on WrestleMania—which is totally possible—the complications arrive when I come back to Canada. Because then I would have to quarantine for 14 days and that puts production back more than two weeks, which costs a boatload of money, and that would be super, super, super selfish of me.”

John Cena has not appeared on WWE programming since WrestleMania 36. At the show he was defeated in the Firefly Funhouse match by “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt.
