As reported earlier, John Cena wants to do something significant in the next edition of Wrestlemania. For the past few years, he was not given an impactful role just because he has been away from the company’s weekly programming.

He only comes back to make part-time appearances during the biggest event of the year. It looks like the former franchise player of the company wants to make changes to the tradition.

According to WrestleVotes, the 16 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion wants to do something substantial at WrestleMania 36. Since he lives around the Tampa Bay area, chances are pretty high that WWE would involve him in a better way than earlier two years,

“Heard recently that John Cena wants to do something substantial at WrestleMania. More than just an appearance like last year. Cena resides within the Tampa area, seems like this Mania is important to him.”

His opponent could be Lars Sullivan if only the latter name can get healed from his knee surgery in time.

We should note that John Cena vs. Lars Sullivan was originally planned to take place at WrestleMania 35. But it was canceled because of Sullivan going home due to an anxiety attack just after debuting on the main roster.

WWE planned a major push for the new resident monster in programming. But all of them got canceled following his undisclosed health conditions. We have never seen Lars on either Raw or SmackDown following that.

As for John Cena, he was in attendance at WrestleMania 35 in a special segment by resurfacing as the Doctors of Thugonomics. It was an in-ring segment, where he laid Elias out with an old-school FU.

It was a brilliant strategy sketched by the WWE creative team to mark the return of one of the greatest of all-time. We’ll have to wait to know more about the next appearance of Mr. Hustle, Loyalty and Respect.
