John Cena recently spoke with Complex.com to promote WrestleMania 32. Here are the highlights.
On if he’s ready to return to the ring:
“If you ask me today, I should’ve been back two weeks ago,” Cena said. “I’ve logged almost 400 hours of physical therapy. I got 111 visits in 12 weeks time. I go every single second I can. People say I have a Wolverine-like style of recovery. I was given a nine month quota to come back and after three months I can tell you that I am ready to do anything asked of me possible. It’s a matter of when they call me.”
Are you medically cleared?
Yes.
On why Roman Reigns hasn’t connected with the crowd:
“I think he connects with every crowd,” he answered. “I study a lot of what we do. I study it very differently from most of my competitors. To say Roman Reigns isn’t connecting with an audience means you’re not listening. I’ve watched a lot of Roman Reigns and every single time I see him, I hear noise. He connects very well with our audience.”
On why the WWE schedule is not to blame for the recent injuries:
“No, I think it’s coincidence. Speaking as a guy who’s 13 years into it, I don’t think the schedule has anything to do with it. WWE is open about it: If you need time off, you just ask for it. I just never liked time off. It’s truly a coincidence. Injury is part of our profession. It’s part of what we do.”
