John Cena Talks Rebuilding the U.S. Title, Was Scott Steiner Barred from Entering WWE Hall of Fame?

During media day on Friday for WrestleMania 31 on tonight, John Cena had the following to say when asked about “rebuilding” the U.S. Title:

“I think it is a beacon of achievement, I really do. Right now we are a bit of a fickle situation with a WWE Heavyweight champion [Brock Lesnar] who, when he shows he does some damage, believe me. I think I spoke German after Summerslam he suplexed me so many times. I want to be able to have a viable, competitive championship that is available at every live event, at every television, at every special event, at every pay-per-view. And on top of that, those who have watched WWE, I am almost overly patriotic. That is who I am. It gives me great pride, not just from a nostalgia factor to win the championship that I won at WrestleMania 20 but to be the bearer of essentially the championship that defines the United States.”

Several people have said that upon check-in for last night’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, there was a photo of Scott Steiner hanging up by the security station, apparently barring him from entry into the event.
