WWE legend John Cena was recently interviewed by the Den Of Geek to promote the new Suicide Squad 2 movie.
During the extensive interview, Cena spoke about his Firefly Funhouse match from WrestleMania 36 with "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, his desire to still return to WWE, and more.
"The Funhouse match was something I hold very close to me and maybe thatās another 45-minute interview for another day because that was kind of thrown in my lap at the last minute. And I remember specifically asking what a Firefly Funhouse match was. And the answer was literally, āWe donāt know.ā And in most performers that would cause panic, but I was just riveted by the open field that we could possibly create something special. And like you said, it took a lot of brave folks and a lot of hard work to make something that hopefully the audience understood. And at least if it reached one, we reached you and thatās good. And Iām sure in your critical television articles, Iāve been on the wrong end of an ass-kicking many times from you and that I totally understand, but Iām glad we at least got something you enjoy."
"I always found a real sense of satisfaction contributing where I could, because I know that the idea of the sense of complacency with performers is high. And they always want to be at the top spot and there is only one top spot. But I believe a spot is a chance to contribute. So it wonāt be about that. It will simply be if there is an enthralling and correct continuation to the narrative. I really, really want to get back to WWE. I really want audiences to get back to WWE. Heck Iām with everybody I think around the world saying I just want the world to get back to normal, but these are interesting times and I have a lot of interesting opportunities at my feet, and I really do appreciate the WWE universe understanding that after so many years of."
"No, no, thatās not true. Thatās not true. If you think so, watch any wrestling match or WWE performance with one individual. So I donāt believe in that term. Itās an absolute team effort. And I hate when people say that because it takes the credit away from a lot of talented individuals. But I think one thing is for certain that if WWE ever asked me to do anything, be it a phone interview or go to a smaller city to promote or go to a larger stage or fly across the world or et cetera, et cetera. For 15 years my life was a blur that had not much else in it except light blue canvas and ropes. And I love it for that. And I think now the audience is very understanding that I developed a similar sort of passion towards this. And you canāt be both places at once because one place will suffer or if not, both places will suffer,ā said Cena. āSo I really do appreciate the respect from the often critical, and as Michael Cole says, a polarizing WWE universe to kind of allow me to take this chance and stand up and see what I got. I really do appreciate it, but I do look forward to returning. It wonāt be about topping a Firefly Funhouse match. The first question Iāll ask is āWhy?ā And the next question Iāll ask is āWhere do we go after that?ā And if I get, āI donāt knowā to both of them, thatās cool because that means I can come up with my own thing."
