Cena won’t be the first WWE wrestler to make an appearance on The Simpsons. That feat belongs to Bret Hart. The Hitman appeared on an episode of the show in 1997, “The Old Man and the Lisa.” He voiced a caricature version of himself and bought Mr. Burns’ mansion in the episode.

During a promo on Raw, Punk expressed interest in going toe-to-toe with Cena one final time before he retires from professional wrestling. However, he may now have something totally different in mind. The Best in the World made an appearance at a panel during the recent San Diego Comic-Con, where he talked about working with the former WWE Champion.

Everybody’s asking me, because Cena has announced his retirement, that, obviously, they want to see us fight each other. I think there’s something to me and him tagging. I think that can be pretty interesting.
