WWE news: John Cena makes HUGE WrestleMania revelation after shock Undertaker defeat
Cena, however, disagreed with the plan and hung out with the fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana for five hours until a referee told him Undertaker had arrived. The Champ had been calling out Taker for weeks before WrestleMania but the legend wouldn’t answer his challenge. Therefore, the Trainwreck star was unable to have a match at Mania and instead showed up as a fan and sat among the WWE Universe. The Phenom made a dramatic return and destroyed The Champ in under three minutes with just one Chokeslam and a Tombstone Piledriver.
GETTY John Cena spent five hours with the crowd at WrestleMania
There were reservations about me in the audience John Cena
Many thought The Deadman had retired last year at WrestleMania 33 after his emotional defeat to Roman Reigns as he broke character and laid down his signature black jacket, gloves and hat in the middle of the ring before saluting the crowd. Cena, however, played a big part in proving to the world that the WWE legend was not finished and still has a lot left in the tank. He told Sports Illustrated: “There were reservations about me in the audience. “Originally, they wanted me to go out in the crowd for 10 minutes. I said, ‘Absolutely not. I need a ticket, a physical ticket, I need a real seat, and I am going out in that arena when the doors open.’

“It was rewarding to make an unbelievable moment believable. “I also thought it was a great way to reintroduce an iconic character and let the audience know that character still exists and thrives, erasing all speculative activity that this character is gone.” Many fans thought that Cena was not treated right as he barely got any offence in the match, but the 16-time world champion disagrees with that statement. The ex-WWE Champion loved the way the story unfolded and the fact that the crowd was entertained, which is always every wrestler’s top priority.
He added: “I loved it, I truly did, and I loved it for so many reasons. Our job is to entertain the audience, so that’s number one. “The story was amazingly unbelievable to the public, with a healthy, marquee superstar admitting, ‘Hey, WrestleMania spots are earned. I’ve been on a losing streak, I’ve exhausted every option, so I shouldn’t go to WrestleMania, especially with the flux of new talent.’ “But the fans, thinking they know that John Cena is a WWE staple and that I didn’t have another project that same day, thought there was no way I wouldn’t have had a match. “Even if people did or didn’t attach themselves to the story, I liked the fact that people still remained interested.”
