John Cena: I Wish CM Punk Didn’t Have To Take All That Time Off Because We Could Have Had Some More Matches

John Cena speaks on his rivalry with CM Punk.

Cena and Punk have been connected for a large portion of both of their careers, with the pair’s initial rivalry leading to their match at WWE Money In The Bank 2011, and most recently facing off as part of Cena’s retirement tour earlier this year.

While speaking during an appearance at Fan Expo Chicago, John Cena spoke about his rivalry with CM Punk after being asked about what made them click as dance partners.

“A few things. First of all, we both want the same spot. And I also think we both love the same thing. A lot of people that want that front spot, purely want it for selfish reasons. Every once in a while, you get somebody who wants to sit in the front that loves the business, and we love it in different ways, too. I think we’re such different personalities, but we share a lot of the same core values. So we just want to bring the best out of each other. For some reason, we kind of found each other and found each other at the right time and man, I wish I could have kept him with us. I wish he didn’t have to take all that time off because we could have had some more matches, but I’m grateful for the moments we’ve had. And I think that, I think we just, we both want to sit in front. We both really love the business.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Cena spoke about who he would like to go back in time to main event WrestleMania with. You can read more about that here.
