John Cena has not been in the ring since his loss to Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 36 last year in a Firefly Funhouse match. Cena was supposed to make his return for Wrestlemania 37. But now he confirms that he will not return at this year’s Wrestlemania due to travel restrictions.
While speaking to Forbes, John Cena addressed Corey Graves speculation that he will be at Wrestlemania. Cena says that situation is out of his hands and he will not be able to return at Wrestlemania this year. Cena is shooting for HBO Max Peacemaker spin off series and he tells that Warner Bros. can’t halt the production for long period of time just because Cena have a wrestling match at Tampa, Florida.
“Unfortunately, it’s out of my hands. Every other year except for this year has been completely within my realm,” Cena admitted. “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 Peacemaker for 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.”
“Should things beyond my control normalize a bit and travel restrictions lift up, then sure, I’m in. But right now, it is logistically impossible. I can’t do that to Warner, I can’t do that to DC, I can’t do that to James, I can’t do that to the Suicide Squad. It’s just not fair.”
Recently, Cena appeared in a hilarious ‘Wrestlemania report’ video by WWE where they announce the locations of Wrestlemania 37, 38 & 39. Now, the champ himself confirms that he will not be at Wrestlemania, so we just have to wait and see when can we see Cena back in action.
