John Cena has commented on whether he'll be a part of this year's WrestleMania, the biggest annual event in WWE.
The 16-time world champion challenged Austin Theory for the United States Championship at The Grandest Stage of Them All last year, but he lost the bout via pinfall. He recently revealed in an interview that he plans to retire from wrestling very soon, and it's left some fans wondering whether or not he'll show up at The Showcase of The Immortals this April.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, John Cena was asked about his status for WrestleMania 40. He said he doesn't know if he'll be free that weekend.
"I don't know if I'll be free that weekend, but it is a weekend, and movies don't shoot on the weekends. But when I say I'm done -- in WWE, they say never say never, and a lot of people retire and come back -- I'm just being honest with myself. There's such a great new generation now as well. It's time to pass the electric energy on to the folks that can be there every day," said Cena. [H/T Entertainment Tonight]
