– During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio this week, WWE Superstar and actor John Cena discussed his match with Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 and what he’s still able to deliver in the ring. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

John Cena on what he has left in the tank in terms of his in-ring performances: “I wish I was still there every day, it’s just my body can’t do it anymore and I don’t wanna give the consumer a bad product. That’s another thing that I learned from those veterans. At the time, guys like Eddie (Guerrero) would just risk so much [just in the name of not] giving the consumer a bad product. I don’t care how I feel, I don’t care how I feel physically, I don’t care what baggage I have mentally, when I’m on, they paid good money and I’m gonna go out there and give everything I have and sometimes find it when it’s not there.”

On his WreslteMania 39 performance: “I’m at a point where everything I have, in comparison to the bar that’s been set… what I have is what you saw at WrestleMania 39. That’s what I feel confident that I can deliver, and that’s really nice for here and there, but that’s not every day in WWE. Sports entertainment has raised the bar and I’m humble enough to say that’s awesome, because you’re supposed to leave it better than you found it.”

Theory defeated Cena in his US Championship defense in the opening match at WrestleMania 39: Night 1 last month. The event was held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
