Speaking to Denise Salcedo at the Hall of Fame ceremony, Cena claimed that he is looking forward to Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar. He thinks Femi will be the first superstar who won’t walk into a match with Lesnar as the underdog.

“Everyone goes into a match with Brock Lesnar an underdog, except Oba Femi. I think that’s the allure, everyone wants to see two tanks square off in this ring, and not just two big men, two gifted men. Two big, agile, mobile, versatile athletes. Shout-out to Oba, he has the courage to stand in there. Oba has the courage and confidence to charge the hill, and I think Brock has never seen that out of a challenger before.” Cena said.

Jim Cornette isn’t happy with John Cena returning

John Cena retired from professional wrestling in late 2025, but is set to return to host WrestleMania 42. While Cornette thinks that there is nothing wrong with Cena hosting the event, he didn’t hold back from criticizing the decision.

Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran said:

“There’s nothing wrong with John Cena being the host of WrestleMania. But you’ve, just there, you’ve fired another warning shot in the air and you’re running out of bullets when the f*cking invaders are coming up the drive. It’s not gonna help. And you could have saved it for something else, because he just f*cking left.”

Cena is no stranger to competing at The Grandest Stage of Them All. However, this year will be quite different for him, as he gets set to host the show.
