#1. Hope isn't true: John Cena's WrestleMania 36 status

Many were hopeful that we would see the leader of the Cenation John Cena back in action for WrestleMania 36. Tom Colohue says that it isn't happening. He said that we may see him in a non-match role but his schedule suggests that he won't be there this year:

We are not expecting to see him at this year's WrestleMania. He's currently filming with DC for the new Suicide Squad. He's not expected to be back. He may make a late appearance but he's not expected to be wrestling. Much similar to last year, we may see John Cena again, but it's more likely to be later in the year when he's finished filming and he believes he is necessary.

It appears that John Cena's days of part-time wrestling is over as well.

There is some discussion as to how much John Cena will be involved in the future. It looks like his full-time schedule is very much done. It looks like his part-time schedule is very much done and he will be approaching closer to a 'non-contract' contract where he appears for one-off paydays, one-off big shows.

There's no reason to justify why we hope this isn't true. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and it's been over a year since we've seen him in the ring. We'll be lucky if we get to see him in action this year at all.
