WWE deletes controversial John Cena promo after Bray Wyatt comments

John Cena took aim at Bray Wyatt in a backstage promo last night, however, it doesn't seem to have gone down well as the footage has now been removed from social media.

The wrestler-cum-Hollywood-actor did not hold back when commentating on this weekend's WrestleMania match against "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, with him going so far as to comment on his previous characters in a damning statement. "I know The Fiend operates off of fear, but I also know The Fiend is Bray Wyatt, is Husky Harris, is a guy in a mask," he said.

Watch the original footage below:

"I’m not afraid of The Fiend, and I’m not afraid to say that I’m not afraid of The Fiend," Cena continued - also referring to Wyatt as "entitled". The 42-year-old has now recorded another version of the skit, which has been uploaded with no reference to the previous interview. In this footage, he simply promises some "strong words" for his opponent.

Some are speculating that the pulled promo could have been staged to create some buzz, as after claiming he wasn't scared, Cena was visibly spoked after he turned to find Wyatt behind him after staring down The Fiend.

Little is known about Cena and Wyatt's match, outside of the fact that it will take place in the Firefly Funhouse.

Similar to the Boneyard Match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles, there is room for WWE to think laterally without worrying about tiring out a live audience with an excess of pre-recorded content.
