Following various reports suggesting that John Cena will face off against WWE RAW star Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39, the 16-time World Champion’s potential opponent has spoken out about the match. This theory makes it very clear that he grew up as a die-hard John Cena fan, but since he started carving his own way in WWE, he’s said he needs to take out his childhood idol before he can go. Noticed to continue his career. In a recent interview with Sporf, the current US champion was asked if he would be willing to take on a meeting with the leaders of Sensation.

“How do I prepare for John Cena? I’m ready I think I’m already there. I don’t think you need to prepare. at least for me. Certainly for others. It is a difficult mountain to climb. John Cena should prepare for me. Cena is no stranger to big matches at WrestleMania, having rubbed shoulders with the likes of The Rock, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, and Batista at historic events.”

The former rival of WWE ICON seems to have changed his mind about him recently when Seth Rollins praised the 16-time World Champion at a WWE 2K23 press event. Speaking to Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Seth called Cena an incredible mentor to him and hailed the 45-year-old as the greatest of all time.

“John is GOAT. John is the best. John is amazing. And, you know, I’m really just a footnote to his career. John has inspired so many talents over the years. On the one hand, for me, John has been a huge influence on what I do. I got a lot of inspiration from John. I learned a lot in the ring with John. I learned a lot watching John backstage. John is still a mentor to me, even though he doesn’t hang out with Sami Zayn often.”

Gunther has held his Intercontinental Championship for over eight months now, and Ray has defeated former world champions such as Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, and Braun Strowman to retain the title. Last week, WWE announced a fatal four-way match between Karion Cross, Rey Mysterio, Santos his Escobar, and Madcap his Moss to determine the new number-one contender for his Intercontinental Championship. 

He should be fired. What is heat? What do you know about heat? I mean, what do you know about heat? If Brock Lesnar goes into heat, trust me, he won’t know about it (laughs). who will speak to him? Who will speak to him? This guy makes money for the show so you know what I mean. I mean he’s an important player. He’s Brock Lesnar and I always know that I never cared about the heat. I never had a fever unless his boss told me I had a fever,” he said. The WWE Hall of Fame also said The Beast Incarnate did his job at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.
