John Cena is one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling, and he’s said in the past that he simply takes whatever situation or feud WWE gives him and tries to make the best out of it.
At this point there’s no sign that WWE officials have any plans for John Cena to appear on NXT programming, but during a recent Q&A session at MegaCon in Orlando, Cena made it clear that he hopes to someday perform in NXT (via Wrestling Inc).
“I would love to be on the television show. I’ve been around the Raw and SmackDown Superstars for a long time and I recently went to the WWE Performance Center and spoke to the NXT Superstars for over six hours in a forum like this to answer their questions. I was so inspired by how hard they work and how hungry they are that it made me want to perform with them. So, I hope one day that I actually perform on an NXT television show.”
Cena also opened up about where the inspiration for his “You can’t see me,” hand gesture and catchphrase came from, and he said that it basically came from a dare.
“I didn’t know what else to say. And I figured if I somehow mastered a superpower it would give me an advantage over all my competition. So, I worked in a sorcery type way to master the power of invisibility. The truth behind that story is my youngest brother dared me to do a dance similar to [the ‘You can’t see me!’ taunt] on television. I’m a sucker for a dare and I didn’t want to blatantly rip-off the dance, so I just changed the move, and realized how ridiculous I looked when I did that, so I felt I should say something. And what came out was ‘You can’t see me!’ which was even more ridiculous.”
