Update on John Cena's WrestleMania status

[Chris]

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer gave an update on John Cena's status for WrestleMania 39.

Meltzer noted that the belief is Cena will be working WrestleMania 39. Cena is working on his schedule to make sure he can, but the belief is he'll get it done.

"The belief is that Cena will be working WrestleMania but what we were told is that he’s working on his schedule to make sure it works, but the belief is that he’ll get it done," Meltzer wrote.

"Cena will be unavailable to WWE through most of February and March due to filming a movie outside the U.S. At one point he was talked about for a match with Austin Theory at WrestleMania but that was with Vince McMahon in charge."

Cena will make his return to the ring as he teams with Kevin Owens against Roman Reigns & Sami Zayn on the final SmackDown of 2022. That episode is taking place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on Friday, December 30.

The tag match with Owens will be Cena's only match of 2022. Last Friday, Cena appeared on SmackDown via video to set the match up.

WrestleMania 39 is being held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Saturday, April 1, 2023 and Sunday, April 2, 2023.

His filming schedule really makes it a tight window for him to be there. Do I want him there, I wouldn't mind it. But I'm not going to hold my breath in anticipation.

It’s crazy that this WrestleMania may have:
The Rock
Steve Austin
Brock Lesnar
John Cena

Hopefully Cena can make it. And for just to see @Blaze lose his mind, I hope he beats Theory

Could be one epic Mania if all four compete.

Cena vs. Theory
Reigns vs. Rock
Lesnar vs. Gunther
SCSA vs. ???

What a four matches they would be.

Don't see that as we'll get KO/Sami vs. The Usos for the titles.

Very true, maybe he can team with Sheamus & Brawling Brutes

 

[Cwalker]

Austin going to wrestle Seth if he chooses to go

 

[Dale]

Unavailable basically all February and March doesn't sound very good for a buildup.

I mean someone like Theory could do what KO did this year…

Austin didn’t have to show up once to build interest

Different levels to it though. Fans will be happy to see Cena at Mania, but he's not going to be the hook for many people considering he's still appearing a few times per year anyways. He can still have a fun/good match and make a nice Mania moment, but some kind of actual build for his match would be good I think.

 

[Hoss]

And I'm sure they'll find a way to make it work if that's the route they go.

Isn't Pat wrestling too? I thought I heard rumors of McAfee vs. Barrett
