John Cena Sr. hopes WrestleMania 37 result rumor is not true

John Cena’s father thinks Bobby Lashley should retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37.

Lashley defeated The Miz on the March 1 episode of WWE RAW to win the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. It has been speculated that The All Mighty’s reign could come to an abrupt end against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 37 on April 10-11.

Speaking to Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade, John Cena Sr. highlighted his concerns if the WrestleMania 37 match is booked that way. He fears Lashley could slip down the card and become just another Superstar on the roster if he moves away from the WWE Championship picture:

“If they did [book Drew McIntyre to win], Lashley would become a mid-carder. If they pull the rug out from under him now at WrestleMania, he’s gonna go right down to mid-card, and then it’ll be bye bye, Bobby. That’s the sad part about it. You take an athlete of that caliber, doing the job, and then bing, bing, bing. It just doesn’t make sense.”
