John Cena apologizes for being against WWE: Unreal and confirms season 3 role
During his recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, John Cena, who retired from in-ring competition last December, revealed that he apologized for refusing to be a part of the first two seasons of WWE Unreal and confirmed his role in season three.
“I just did a sit-down for WWE: Unreal season three. I led with, ‘I’m sorry,’” Cena explained. “Because those motherf*ckers tried to get me for season one and season two, and I’m like, ‘I’m not spoiling any stories and I’m going to be curt and short in my answers.’ [I told the producers] ‘You guys are from football, this is a business that’s way more nuanced. You don’t know what you’re doing. You’re taking a swing and the institutional knowledge that I have says we never do this.’ So you’re going against everything I believe in.”
While he didn’t reveal what he filmed for season three, it could likely highlight his WWE retirement tour.
