John Cena’s recent dominance in WWE has been clear, but Drew McIntyre, a former World Champion, insists Cena is deliberately avoiding a confrontation with him. McIntyre, who aims to reclaim the WWE Championship, expressed frustration that Cena does not want to face him despite their overlapping careers.
Over the past year, Drew McIntyre has engaged in intense rivalries with top stars like CM Punk and Damian Priest. Having moved past those challenges, he is now focused on regaining title glory but has made it clear that he wants to meet Cody Rhodes in the ring instead of John Cena. While McIntyre acknowledged Cena’s impactful promo against CM Punk, he criticized Cena as being less formidable now.
“He tore CM Punk apart that one week on the microphone with a pipe bomb. I enjoyed it. And I was like, ‘God, I’d love to come back at Cena on the microphone,’ but he’s not the same John Cena. He’s a little b**ch these days. So, I don’t want John Cena. I want Cody Rhodes.” [5:04 – 5:16]
No Singles Match Yet Between McIntyre and Cena
Throughout his WWE career, Drew McIntyre has faced many key opponents such as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes, but he has never competed in a singles match against John Cena. In a recent interview, McIntyre claimed that Cena has intentionally avoided him, possibly out of concern for McIntyre’s sharpened mic skills.
“I’ve never had a singles match with Cena. He’s been ducking me his entire career. Don’t know why. I’m sure he’d put a spin on it as he always does. The problem is, I can spin things back verbally these days. Maybe that’s why he’s avoiding me.” [4:53 – 5:03]
The prospect of Drew McIntyre finally facing John Cena remains uncertain, especially with Cena’s potential retirement looming later this year. Whether this challenge will be accepted or continue to be sidestepped could have significant implications for WWE’s future storylines and championship battles.
