During a recent edition of the “Road Trip After Hours” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long discussed the ongoing retirement tour of John Cena and speculated on who would be the ideal opponent for his final match.
On wanting John Cena vs. Steve Austin for Cena’s final match: “Well, if it was me and I know it wouldn’t happen- and I may be just thinking outside the box… but what I would like to have? I would have brought someone in special and I don’t know whether Steve would, you know, I’m pretty sure he might do business, (John) Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin, that’s what I would have liked to seen.”
On Austin walking away from wrestling in 2003 being a good reason why Cena and Austin would make good opponents: “Well that’s why it would work so good. Because he’s one of those guys that didn’t go back on his word, he didn’t go back. But just here, if you build it right and get a story to go on, then that’s something that may excite him and it makes him want to come back. It’s easy to do!” h/t to Fightful for the transcription.
John Cena will wrestle his final match on Saturday, December 13, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, DC.
