John Cena Reveals Why He’s Facing Austin Theory At WrestleMania

John Cena made his big return to WWE last week on Raw and it didn’t take long for Austin Theory to interrupt him. Theory gifted Cena a shot at the US Title at WrestleMania and Cena accepted the offer.

A WrestleMania match between John Cena and Austin Theory has been rumored for some time now, and during a recent interview with APNews, Cena explained how Theory ended up as his opponent for WWE’s biggest show of the year.

“You would be surprised at my answer. Because that’s what I was told would happen. I don’t do that. I don’t say, I want to do this. I want to work with that person. I don’t ever do that. I’ve never done that. I just try and do what I’m told to do and do it to the best of my abilities. Instead of dictating my terms, I often just try to make the performance the best it can be. What I don’t do and what I’ve never done is curate the direction of the narrative. I don’t pick opponents, but I love to tell stories. I didn’t pick Austin Theory but I certainly spoke from the heart (on RAW).”
