It sounds like John Cena will be missing WrestleMania weekend for the second straight year.

Last year, the 16-time World Champion was unable to make the trip to WrestleMania weekend in Tampa Bay, Florida. He was occupied filming the Peacemaker television series, which was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Cena would have had to quarantine if he were to travel between Canada and the United States, which would have set back production for Peacemaker.

Despite his busy schedule in the film industry, Cena usually makes it to "The Show of Shows." But fans hoping to see the wrestler-turned-actor at WrestleMania 38 weekend in Arlington, Texas should not get their hopes up.

According to a report from Ringside News, Cena is not part of the plans for WrestleMania 38. Ringside News heard from a source that the 44-year-old "was discussed" but "never a real possibility" for this year's event. Back in January, Cena admitted that he was unsure about potentially appearing at WrestleMania, which will be held on Apr. 2-3 weekend at AT&T Stadium.

Cena's last WrestleMania appearance took place two years ago at WrestleMania 36, where he lost a cinematic "Firefly Fun House" bout to Bray Wyatt. Following a hiatus that lasted over a year, Cena returned to WWE programming at the end of Money in the Bank 2021 to confront Roman Reigns.

This set up a match between the two stars at SummerSlam, with Reigns narrowly holding off Cena to retain his Universal Championship. After the match, Brock Lesnar ended his own WWE hiatus and met Reigns in the ring to plant the seeds for their current feud.

WWE Will Probably Lack Legends For WrestleMania 38

WWE likes to bring in a handful of legends for WrestleMania events, but this year may be different. Cena reportedly isn't in the plans this year, for starters. The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are long retired, and Goldberg's WWE contract recently expired. Triple H has been away from television since his scary cardiac episode in September, and there's no indication that he's going to wrestle again. Shane McMahon reportedly left WWE following creative disagreements at the Royal Rumble.
