In the Popeater.com interview with Hulk Hogan that Buck Woodward mentioned earlier on the site, Hogan admits he was close to a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment to face John Cena at Wrestlemania XXV.

"You know what, I was supposed to wrestle John Cena for the title, and about four weeks ago I had back surgery. Vince and I were talking about how much involvement I wanted to have in Wrestlemania, and if I wanted to keep wrestling, and out of nowhere my back just got really crazy. I went in for an MRI and I had to have some emergency surgery that threw me out of the game. I was kind of flipped out about it, I thought I'd be the main event this year."

PWInsider.com had noted several weeks back that many in the company were under the impression Hogan vs. Cena was a potential direction for the show before plans were changed. Hogan's comments fit that timeline.
