John Cena Sr. Says The ‘Woken’ Matt Hardy Character Won’t Work In WWE

John Cena Sr. recently spoke with Boston Wrestling Sports (transcript via wrestlinginc.com), here are the highlights…

On Broken Matt Hardy: “Been there. Done that. Let’s move on,” Cena said. “It might start a little bit of a fire in WWE, I give it 30 days, 45 days, before it gets watered on, and the ‘Woken’ becomes broken.”

On the Feud With Wyatt Being Timed Wrong: “I think [WWE is] building that feud up. I feel so bad, because it’s just not the right time,” Cena said. “It’s not the thing to do. The gimmick- here’s the thing, everybody wanted more frosting on the cake. Finally, Vince [McMahon], WWE, the writers go ‘Okay, we’re gonna give you more frosting on the cake,’ and what’s the first thing that happens when you first bite the cake? ‘Too [much] sweetness, too much frosting on the cake. I don’t like it!’ And that’s exactly what’s gonna to happen. I make the prediction here and now, the ‘Woken’ is gonna be broken.”

On His Thoughts on The Gimmick: “I don’t think it’s going to help anybody, I really don’t,” Cena replied. “I think Matt has kind of made a mistake, because what worked before, might not necessarily work again. And the fans were so agitated by Impact Wrestling and what’s been done, it’s kind of like, they’ve heard so much about it now, it’s kind of sour. It’s more frosting on the cake, but it’s too sweet.”

On How The Wyatt vs. Hardy Should End: “I’d put Bray Wyatt over! He would break the ‘Woken,’ Cena said. “He’d break him in half, the worms would cover him and it’s over. Bury him out back next to Sister Abigail, it’s over, it’s done with. No, I’m sorry, that’s not even fair to Bray Wyatt.”
