Hall Of Famer Says John Cena Didn’t Do Business At WrestleMania 39

John Cena appearances on WWE programming are few and far between nowadays, but the former WWE Champion made his return to Raw a few weeks ago during the March 6th episode in Boston. Austin Theory immediately challenged John Cena to a match at WrestleMania 39, and Cena accepted.

Austin Theory defended the United States Championship against John Cena in the opening match of night 1 at WrestleMania, and Theory retained the title after he hit Cena with a low blow followed by A-Town Down.

WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently addressed John Cena’s in-ring return on WrestleBinge, and he made it clear that he thinks Cena could have had a better match with Austin Theory.

“I’m just old school and I just always believe in doing business, and I just don’t think Cena did business. I don’t know this, but I feel that Cena is basically going to spend the rest of his career on Hollywood doing movies and stuff. I don’t know. I don’t want to say this, but I don’t think his heart is in wrestling like it used to be. He’s thinking ahead to the movies and stuff now.”

“If you want to go and do something else, nothing’s wrong with that. Further your career, do better, I’m for that all the way. But, don’t forget where you come from. Back in the day, a guy that was in the territory, if he was going to leave for a good bit, then he would always leave the guy that’s left in the territory strong. I think he could have had a way better match with the kid than he did because I’ve seen him work in the ring before.”
