John Cena reveals the real reason why he is feuding with Austin Theory in WWE

WWE legend John Cena recently broke character to disclose why he is working with Austin Theory.

After several months of absence, The Cenation Leader returned to Monday night RAW last week in Boston, Massachusetts. As soon as he made it into the ring, however, he was interrupted by Austin Theory. The current United States Champion challenged Cena to a title match at WrestleMania 39. Although the 16-time world champion initially rejected the challenge, he later accepted.

In a recent interview with AP News, Cena noted that he focuses more on delivering a memorable performance than choosing the ideal opponent.

"You would be surprised at my answer. Because that's what I was told would happen. I don't do that. I don't say, 'I want to do this. I want to work with that person.' I don't ever do that. I've never done that. I just try and do what I'm told to do and do it to the best of my abilities. Instead of dictating my terms, I often just try to make the performance the best it can be. What I don't do and what I've never done is curate the direction of the narrative. I don't pick opponents, but I love to tell stories. I didn't pick Austin Theory but I certainly spoke from the heart [on RAW]."

"I'd rather be bald than have them pipe in fake crowd noises for my matches because nobody cares."
