Shane Helms last stepped foot in a WWE ring during the 2021 men’s Royal Rumble match.
While speaking with Gabby LaSpisa on the “Gabby AF” podcast, Helms revealed that he’s getting back into “spandex” shape. He said,
“I’m starting to be able to get back into spandex shape, now. For a while, it wasn’t an option. They actually wanted me to do…John Cone called me and there was an appearance for me to do as Hurricane, head to toe. ‘John, you’ve seen me on TV every week. You know I can’t fit in that damn outfit.’ The spandex don’t lie. That sh*t tells the truth. Got me out there looking like a can of busted biscuits. I can’t have that on my conscience.”
During a recent interview with Gaming Bible, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes commented on John Cena’s shocking heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto and why he’s a dangerous man these days. He said,
“I almost made the mistake when I first encountered John after Elimination Chamber on 17 March on Raw in Brussels, Belgium when he did our first promo together since that moment. I went in with the mindset that I was facing the old John but in reality, this is a new John. They call him ‘big match John’ for a reason. He’s been in every type of pressure cooker. He’s experienced things that few have. He’s a master. But this John having it all on the line is the most dangerous version we’ve ever seen. Typically, I’d approach John smiling and I’d shake his hand with this being a teacher vs student moment. He’s also one of my heroes. Regardless, I have the unenviable task of beating John Cena in his last WrestleMania match when he’s going for the record of 17 world championships. This is my job and I’m very much looking forward to it however events may play out.”
