John Cena is becoming a leading name in Hollywood, but the 16-time World Champion will always choose his WWE family above anything else.
One plastered across WWE programming, Cena has become a rarer sight in the ring in recent years as his acting career continues to grow. Cena’s most recent match took place at WWE Crown Jewel and saw him lose (another rarity) to Solo Sikoa.
John Cena and WWE’s Family First
On a recent edition of the Insight podcast, Cena was asked about transitioning from WWE to acting and in what role he feels that transition was made official. WWE’s Greatest of All Time stated that he’ll never stop seeing as a member of WWE’s ‘family’ before anything else.
“I don’t think I’ll ever not be a member of the WWE family first… from my perspective, the switch has never happened. You know me, I always speak fondly of WWE, my time and experience there.”
Cena also made sure to credit the fans, both those who supported him and those who reviled him, for making him the performer he is today.
“I can’t tell you how much the audience has made me the man I am today. Having to deal with all the polarizing audiences. We’ve seen a lot of performers not be able to do that and to have to do that for so, so long, it teaches you about you and you really go through a journey of self-worth, so I don’t think I’ll ever not be WWE family first.”
What’s Next?
John Cena is eager to do something at WrestleMania 40, though it is unclear if a match for the former World Champion is in the cards. There are also concerns that Cena’s Peacemaker schedule could keep him from the show of shows. WWE WrestleMania 40 will take place from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA on April 6, and April 7.
