John Cena’s time is almost over.
As John Cena prepares to hang up the sneakers in the next couple of months, the never-seen seventeen-time WWE Champion was speaking at the Fan Expo Dallas, where he was asked about his WrestleMania entrances and which one of his own was his favorite all-time. Here is the answer he gave.
“Man, I like this last one because it was super plain. It was like, so I started doing the funky WrestleMania entrances because like nobody was. I remember my first WrestleMania main event for a world championship was against JBL, and he came out in a limousine and he dropped money with his face on it, and we rehearsed his entrance and I’m looking at this going like, ‘this is fantastic.” I turned to him, I go, ‘where’s my entrance?’ Deadpan, He turns to me, he goes, ‘you’re winning. That’s enough!’ I really liked the spectacle he made of the entrance. So I was like, man, if nobody’s doing special stuff, that’s WrestleMania. That’s an event that is a big ask for you as a fan. I wanted to make it special and unique, and now tons of people do special and unique entrances. So this year I just wanted to flip it and go like as bare bones simple as I could. So I like this one. I got to take that back. Sorry. Got to take that back. I had a chance to bring 50 kids from the Make-A-Wish Foundation on the stage for WrestleMania. There’s nothing like the view out of the tunnel when you look at the stadium and it’s just bananas. So the fact that I got to share that moment with some close friends that day, that was pretty big up too.”
Cena is currently scheduled to defend the WWE Championship at SummerSlam against the King of the Ring winner, and former WWE Champion, ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody Rhodes, who defeated Randy Orton in the finals to earn his shot at redemption.
Cena defeated Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 this past year to break the record of championships held in the WWE, surpassing the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair whom he had been tied for the last several years.
