We take a look at John Cena's comments on Raw Talk.
We go to commercial.
We are back and John Cena makes his way to the ring.
John looks at the Wrestlemania sign and then he says last night he failed. In a moment of failure and in the finale of it all, he was rushed into a room and put in front of microphone and he was demoralized. Failure is tough. You can tell that you go through failure alone. He knows where he is at. A person's character is not judged on when you rise to the top. You are judged when your back is against the wall. That time is now.
He says he spent five minutes last night feeling sorry for himself and then he moved forward. John says he will figure it out and he is talking about his Road to Wrestlemania, as he points to the sign. John says he thought it would be the Royal Rumble, but he failed. He did not give up. He thought it would be the Elimination Chamber, but he failed. No one else will come into the ring in front of everyone and say 'I Failed'.
When you say you failed, the disappointment is on you. It is your fault and you go through failure alone. Failure made John who he is today. You can stay down or get up and John says that he is up because he figured it out. John says he has to do something he should have done a long time ago.
John says he will put out a Wrestlemania challenge . . . to the Undertaker.
Thirty nine Wrestlemanias between the two of us and we have never stood face to face in the ring. If you want Wrestlemania, that is Wrestlemania. That match is not happening. John says he does not make the matches. He says that match is not happening because that match is impossible. Now you understand the disappointment of failure. You can stay down or get up. John says his road to Wrestlemania goes through Smackdown. John will go to Smackdown, not to beg, but to do whatever it takes to earn a spot at Wrestlemania.
