John Cena Comments On The Rumors Of Him Being In A Mixed Tag-Team Match At Wrestlemania 33

John Cena was recently interview by Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. One of the most interesting parts of the interview was when Cena was asked about his rumored match for Wrestlemania 33: Cena and Nikki Bella in a mixed tag-team match against the Miz and Maryse.

Cena insists that he doesn’t get to pick and choose his opponents. He is told who he is going to face and tries to do the best with what he is given:


“I know people have a perception of who I am. There is nothing I can say in this interview that changes that perception, but I’ll say this: I don’t pitch ideas, I don’t go and say, ‘This is what I would like to do.’ I’ve had tremendous success in being a versatile poker player, if that’s a good analogy. I get my hand told to me, and I play it the best I possibly can. As far as WrestleMania is concerned, whatever I’m supposed to do I’m going to do to the best of my ability”

He continued:

“[People ask] why don’t I just go in there and say, ‘I want to do this’? Last year, I should have said, ‘I want to do this,’ but that’s just not what I do. This is why I love what I do. You sometimes get an off-the-beaten path request, and it’s your job, as a professional, to make it interesting and make it the best you can”

From the interview, it seems like Cena is not the biggest fan of the match for him at Wrestlemania but he is going to make it work like he always does. Interesting to hear him spear about it.
