John Cena’s Former Partner Open To WWE Return

John Cena WWE Yell

John Cena’s former tag team partner in Nexus, David Otunga, is open to returning to WWE.

Otunga joined WWE as a wrestler in 2008 and later transitioned to non-wrestling roles in 2015. He ultimately left the company in 2019. That was the last time he was active at any wrestling company.

Speaking in an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Otunga was asked to comment on his wrestling future. In response, he expressed his desire to return to the wrestling scene.

I’ve succeeded everywhere. I’ve gone- I even succeeded in WWE. I didn’t succeed as far as what I thought I should, but we’re not really fighting in there, man. You know? So it’s somebody else is writing this story. I can’t go complain.

If I’m in power and they write my character out, you know what I mean? There’s nothing I can do, but you just give your best performance in that role. That being said, am I done wrestling? No, I wouldn’t say that. I never said I retired, but yeah, I’d wrestle again, but I want it to mean something. [H/T: Fightful]

Former WWE Star David Otunga Would Return To WWE If They Called Him Back

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on the Insight podcast, David Otunga was asked if he’d like to resume his wrestling journey in WWE. He responded that he’d happily return to the company, should they want him back.

“I mean, if they called, yeah, absolutely. Like I said, it was so much fun, although now I’m still doing announcing with 4th Rope, which has been awesome. And I’ll tell you what, it’s pretty cool, because of the training that I received at WWE, like, prepared me so much for doing that.

But the difference is there. I really can say anything I want. I’m still pushing forward the stories, but there’s nobody in my ear. So really, hey, that’s kind of how I really feel this.” [H/T Chris Van Vliet]
