John Cena Talks Move to NXT!?

John Cena was a recent guest at MegaCon 2018 and took part in a Q&A session where he discussed his acting, rapping, and wrestling careers.

Here are Cena’s comments on a potential move to WWE‘s ‘developmental’ brand, NXT:

“Have I made an official appearance in NXT? I know I made an appearance in the arena after they were taping a show. I wasn’t good enough that night. They had me on what they called a non-televised appearance and I figure if I work real hard I’ll get on TV.”

As shown in the above video, ‘Big Match John’ made a non-televised appearance in NXT, wherein he joined Enzo Amore and Big Cass in calling Damien Sandow “SAWFT”.

Cena continued:

“But I would love to be on the NXT television show. I’ve been around the ‘Superstars’ on Raw and SmackDown for a long time. I recently went to the NXT Performance Center where I spoke to the ‘Superstars’ for over six hours in a forum like this where I answered their questions. I was so inspired by how hard they work and how hungry they are that it makes me want to perform with them. So I hope to one day actually perform on an NXT television show.”

The 16-time WWE World Champion also spoke about why he dropped his ‘Dr. of Thuganomics’ character and the possibility of it returning in the future:

“The rating of our television show changed and I didn’t want to lose my job. But I will say this: ‘Thuganomics’ was started before you were born and I still have my degree, and I love that time in my career. But I also know where we are. I know the company that I work for, and it’s truly an honor seeing a young man like you wearing things that are close to me that I believe in. I liked it then but I really, really like it now.”
