Cody Rhodes Reveals John Cena’s Reaction When He Asked Him For A Match

A few weeks ago John Cena made his return to WWE programming and it was confirmed that he would be challenging Austin Theory for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 39. After accepting the match John Cena introduced Cody Rhodes and Cena hugged The American Nightmare has he exited the arena.

Cody Rhodes recently spoke to Chaz Kangas of the Los Angeles Times about his interaction with John Cena and he explained that he indicated he wants to face Cena in the ring, but the former WWE Champion told him he can’t make any promises.

“I told him if he does another one of these, I’d love to absolutely be that one. And he actually said, ‘I can’t promise that.’ And I’m pretty sure that’s all caught on camera or on the mics. But I definitely wanted him to know that you want your mentors and your heroes to… you wanna grow as tall as them but you also want to test them.”

“I have an incredible experience with him and I have incredible experience as a fan watching what he did for WWE and what he continues to do. But I absolutely wouldn’t put it past me to wanna see what it looks like John Cena vs Cody Rhodes because if it ever happened, it didn’t really happen, you know.”

At this point in his career it seems that John Cena has more matches behind him than he does ahead of him, so it’s not clear if a match with Cody Rhodes could end up happening. One way or another both John Cena and Cody Rhodes will be in action at WrestleMania 39 this weekend. Stay tuned for updates.
