John Cena Wanted To Lose Major WrestleMania Match In 5 Minutes

John Cena has faced off against some of the biggest names of all time at WrestleMania, and he defeated many of them. On the road to WrestleMania 34 the former WWE Champion talked plenty of trash about The Undertaker in order to goad him into a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

When The Undertaker and John Cena finally faced off their match was quick as Taker defeated Cena in just a few minutes. The Undertaker recently explained to Chris Van Vliet that it was actually John Cena who wanted to take the quick loss.

“And he’s [McMahon] like, ‘Mark [Mark Calaway, The Undertaker’s real name], that’s not what we need.’ And I’m like, ‘No, Vince. Where’s John? Where’s he at?’ So John comes in, he goes, ‘Oh no.’ He goes, ‘I talked mad smack about you, dude. Yeah, you need to beat me quick and get this over with.’ I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? It’s like we’ve never worked on pay-per-view. Are you [serious]? And this is WrestleMania, give me a break here.'”

“And they both, they ganged up on me. I was finally, I threw my hands up. I was like, ‘I can’t believe [it],’ and Vince just thought that was the funniest thing because like I said, I trained like an animal, I was so unbearable at home. I mean, as far as my diet and the training and just all my protocols of you know recoup, rehab, I was a nightmare. I get there and yeah, five minutes. And it was like that was it.”

John Cena will be returning to the ring at WrestleMania 39 when he challenges Austin Theory for the United States Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
