“Literally, two years ago, I was in the ring — I believe it was at Barclays [Center, in Brooklyn] — and actually tagging with him which kind of came full circle with everything. I didn’t think that would be [my] last match with John Cena, but I guess it will be.
“It’s a little upsetting… I remember when he first started this whole ‘The Time is Now’ tour, where it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m retiring in one year,’ I was the first person — literally the first person to put my name in the hat and go, ‘I wanna go up against John Cena. I want to take on John Cena one last time. The Miz versus Cena,’ and it never came to fruition.
“And I could sit there and say it’s this, it’s that, it’s the other thing. I don’t know what it is. Could it be the fans did not literally ask for it? And because I mean, when I saw A.J. Styles tweet, and then Cena tweet back, and it’s like, ‘That’s how this could have happened. All I had to do was tweet and all I had to have was the fans have my back, and say that they truly want this, and be vocal about it? That’s all I needed?‘
“Well, I guess my fans don’t do that, and so, I blame them. Shocking, isn’t it?”
