For many years John Cena was the face of WWE, and he’s been making headlines a lot in recent weeks because he has returned to WWE to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the SummerSlam pay-per-view.
Cena has won numerous championships, main evented WrestleMania, and he’s feuded with some of the biggest names in the business. The former WWE Champion has made it clear that he’s a company man which has led some to believe that Vince McMahon lets him do whatever he wants.
Recently while speaking on ID10T with Chris Hardwick those claims were disputed by Cena who said he simply executes what is asked of him.
“I heard it so much in WWE. ‘Well, Vince lets him do whatever he wants. That’s why he can consistently perform at a level that’s acceptable and entertaining to the audience. He gets to do whatever he wants.’ Nope. I ask and I execute and I invest and I’m meticulous with the detail and I’m consistent night in after night out. I’m trustworthy, I’m giving of self. But the perception everyone else has is ‘he just has a better situation.’ And I’m not taking away from anybody’s struggle. And I’ve learned to appreciate everyone’s struggle, and everyone has a different struggle. I can understand where those feelings come from.
“You can have those feelings when you’re done analyzing yourself and saying like ‘yo, am I at max capacity? Am I doing, because if I really want to wear those shoes or put on those jorts, am I at max capacity? Or did I party too much?’ This is a completely acceptable example, ‘did I want to see my family?’ I wrote off everything but wrestling in my life for two decades. Everything. And that’s a toxic relationship, but the byproduct was I got some wonderful opportunities. But now I’m dealing with a landslide of stuff where I’m rebuilding myself as a man, as a human being, and gladly and open and welcome.”
Cena will challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship when SummerSlam airs live on Saturday, August 21. Stay tuned for updates.
