WWE star has “put his name in the hat” for a match during John Cena’s retirement tour

During an interview with CBSSports.com, The Miz commented on wanting to have a match against John Cena before Cena officially retires from wrestling in WWE…

“I am putting my name in the hat! I’ve been in the ring a lot with John Cena and selfishly I’d want more because that’s how much fun it is getting into the ring with John Cena. But I also want our new talent to experience John Cena. Because as much as I was taught by John and I can teach what John taught me, it’s always better when you have that guy there to teach you. I would want our younger talent to feel that energy.”

“I don’t think anyone understands how much John Cena has taught me in a WWE ring. Not only inside but outside the ring as well. He’s one of the biggest movie stars in the world… He’s in everything. That shows when Cena sets his mind on something, he goes full force and wants to do it all. I’m main eventing WrestleMania with John Cena and watching his entrance and looking over and seeing my best friends from high school who were in my living room watching The Rock and [Steve] Austin fight for the title I’m holding. I’m watching John Cena run into the ring and I’m looking at my boys going, ‘We did it.'”
