John Cena was a guest on the Bill Simmons Podcast yesterday and spoke about a number of topics including his WrestleMania 41 match against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
Below is what Cena had to say about WrestleMania 41 being the end of Act 1:
“The match Cody and I had at WrestleMania was not the end of our story. It was like the end of act 1. Knowing that like, we got Cody. You got to turn bad. Eventually, this is going to happen. We need you to peak at SummerSlam. That’s the end. So we had a very, by design, we had a very methodical match with a very simple end. And we thought, you know, we thought we would have some parts and players. Those disappeared. It didn’t matter. Because it was the end of act 1.
So, we had like act 2 and then act 3. And if you compare what we did in April to what we did in August, that was the end of our story. And that’s the ride we’re taking fans on. But it’s as difficult to conceptualize as you’re not coming back. Like, no, everybody comes back. You just, you had this match at WrestleMania that left me. I wanted more. Yeah. No kidding. You’re going to get it. Because although we know that like WrestleMania is the end of our season, when it came to Cody and I, that was just the beginning for us. And certainly just the beginning for me after them choosing to say, well, now you’re a bad guy.”
