John Cena Opens Up About Possible WWE Return

John Cena Opens Up About Possible WWE Return

John Cena is a very busy man so it’s rare to even hear him talk about WWE nowadays, but he still sounds keen to make a return.

After John Cena posted a WWE logo on Instagram, people got a bit carried away and started speculating about a return, and while it may not be happening in the immediate future, it likely will one day.

Speaking with Den of Geek about a potential return, Cena said:

“I don’t think it’s about topping what you’ve done. I think it’s about correctly continuing a narrative. And I think that’s the most important thing. I mean, I main evented two WrestleManias with The Rock and then the very next WrestleMania I was in the middle of the card against the newcomer, and then I would move further shifting through the card against other veritable newcomers for tertiary titles or up to the point of being a fan at one point. But that was my contribution to the narrative. It wasn’t like I was jumping up and down saying, ‘I was the main event, so I need to continue being a main event’.

“I always found a real sense of satisfaction contributing where I could, because I know that the idea of the sense of complacency with performers is high. And they always want to be at the top spot and there is only one top spot. But I believe a spot is a chance to contribute. So it won’t be about that. It will simply be if there is an enthralling and correct continuation to the narrative. I really, really want to get back to WWE. I really want audiences to get back to WWE. Heck I’m with everybody I think around the world saying I just want the world to get back to normal, but these are interesting times and I have a lot of interesting opportunities at my feet, and I really do appreciate the WWE universe understanding that after so many years of…”

The interviewer then cut him off and finished his sentence with “Carrying the company on your back for a while there…”, to which Cena replied:

“No, no, that’s not true. That’s not true. If you think so, watch any wrestling match or WWE performance with one individual. So I don’t believe in that term. It’s an absolute team effort. And I hate when people say that because it takes the credit away from a lot of talented individuals. But I think one thing is for certain that if WWE ever asked me to do anything, be it a phone interview or go to a smaller city to promote or go to a larger stage or fly across the world or et cetera, et cetera. For 15 years my life was a blur that had not much else in it except light blue canvas and ropes. And I love it for that. And I think now the audience is very understanding that I developed a similar sort of passion towards this. And you can’t be both places at once because one place will suffer or if not, both places will suffer.

“So I really do appreciate the respect from the often critical, and as Michael Cole says, a polarizing WWE universe to kind of allow me to take this chance and stand up and see what I got. I really do appreciate it, but I do look forward to returning. It won’t be about topping a Firefly Funhouse match. The first question I’ll ask is ‘Why?’. And the next question I’ll ask is, ‘Where do we go after that?’. And if I get, ‘I don’t know’ to both of them, that’s cool because that means I can come up with my own thing.”

In the same interview, Cena spoke about the Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36, saying he loved the opportunity to be creative after he was told even management had no idea what a Firefly Fun House match was going to be.
