WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle wrapped up his farewell tour this past week and will wrestle his final match at WrestleMania 35 against Baron Corbin.
It had been speculated and rumored that Angle’s last match might have been against John Cena, as was desired by many in the WWE Universe. It seems as though the fans weren’t the only ones disappointed, WWE Superstar John Cena spoke with Chris Van Vliet recently in New York during WWE’s WrestleMania Week festivities and revealed that he is honored to be included in the conversation for his retirement match.
Cena adds that the match would have been “a nice cycle of life,” but that in the end he has no control over matchmaking and what happens, he just does as he’s told and tries to make it special.
“That is beyond my control. My response to that is control the controllable. Everyone always asks me ‘What do you want to do for WrestleMania?’ or ‘What’s your dream opponent?’ and I have never ever gone about our business that way.”
“I do what is asked of when and then when I get what is told of me what I have to do, I try to make it super special. So in the fantasy match making world, all of that stuff with Kurt Angle is a good conversation. I’m glad to be in that conversation because that means a lot to me, that means people remember that first match and it would be a nice cycle of life. It seems to make sense but I trust in the grand plan and I trust in the process and I will do what I am told.”
