For many years, John Cena has been involved in many big matches and moments at the 'Grandest Stage Of Them All.' He has won championships and even proposed at a WrestleMania. However, Cena has recently shared that he also had a featured match involving him being cut short compared to what was initially planned. 

On his TikTok account , Cena shared that his Triple Threat Match against Big Show and Adam Copeland (FKA Edge) for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was cut short. The match occurred at WWE WrestleMania 25 on April 5, 2009. 

Fans may recall that the match before Cena's was Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker. While Michaels and 'The Deadman' put on an all-time classic WrestleMania performance, the Triple Threat Match was cut for time. 

Cena reflected on the match on TikTok and spoke about WWE's decision. He also thanked Big Show and Copeland for their cooperation. 

"...Those guys had a long match, which means you got to find the time somewhere, which means they took a lot of time away from this match. Yes, taking time away from your match happens at every level. I want to thank my opponents, Edge and The Big Show, for being so calm and collected and adjusting what we needed to do, and still being able to take some high-risk and give the audience some crazy moments," said Cena.

One example he remembered was picking up both his opponents at the same time. He also revealed the match was supposed to last 30 minutes and noted how quickly he got out of the ring after his win. 

Will John Cena Make An Appearance At WWE WrestleMania 40?

As WWE WrestleMania 40 approaches, fans wonder if Cena will appear. He is not scheduled for a match or a segment at the event. 

Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer has reported that he is currently available, but his film commitments may prevent him from being physical. If true, Cena could be involved in a segment and avoid contact to stay on schedule for his next movie or TV role, which includes Peacemaker Season 2

Cena will likely not be in a match or be limited in how physical he can be with others, but fans will still enjoy seeing the former WWE Champion make a surprise appearance.
