Post Show Press Conference Highlights
John Cena appeared on the WrestleMania 41 Sunday Post Show and threw Cody Rhodes’ title side plates. He refused to answer any questions as he felt they were all clickbait questions.
John then dropped a major teaser for RAW after WrestleMania 41:
“Tune in to RAW to see how I ruin wrestling.”
Triple H came out after Cena. Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter thanked Triple H for mentioning Vince McMahon in his Hall of Fame speech. HHH said none of us would be here if it wasn’t for Vince, so it was pretty hard not to mention.
HHH talked about Travis Scott. HHH said he hopes Scott doesn’t mind him sharing this, but as soon as Scott came backstage after the show went off the air, he told HHH that he liked it so much that this could be his new full-time job! HHH said he appreciates Scott for being a true WWE fan and risking his music career while doing this, because he could get injured in the ring.
It should be noted that a fan got hit while Dominik Mysterio was being escorted out of the post show. You can watch it below:
