John Cena‘s final match is this weekend, and ahead of it, one of Cena’s old rivals reveals why a final match against the legend never happened.
Speaking to SI Media with Jimmy Traina, The Miz opened up about Cena and his career. The two have met in the ring plenty of times. However, fans were shocked that The Miz didn’t get to go up against Cena one last time this year. According to The Miz, he wanted it to happen, too.
“It’s a little upsetting…,” The Miz admitted. “I remember when he first started this whole ‘The Time is Now’ tour, where it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m retiring in one year,’ I was the first person, literally the first person, to put my name in the hat and go, ‘I wanna go up against John Cena. I want to take on John Cena one last time. The Miz versus Cena,’ and it never came to fruition.
“It’s not even like it was shot down. There was instances where it could have happened… There was a moment where it could have happened, and then that moment went away because of certain circumstances, and it never came back.” (H/T: WrestlingNews.co)
Instead of a match against Cena, his final match featuring the legend will instead be a tag team match that the pair had in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
