Over the years John Cena has made a name for himself and he’s become one of the biggest names in the history of WWE. Cena’s entrances are often memorable as he frequently looks into the camera and speaks before running down to the ring.
Cody Rhodes recently spoke to SPORTBible about some of the rules he’s broken since returning to WWE, but he also explained why John Cena is the only one who can talk into the camera.
“When I went away and came back, I was allowed to bring everything back with me, including breaking a lot of the pre-existing rules. We’re out of the frame of looking at monitors sideways now. You know, what’s still a pretty big on-air rule but it’s good for production purposes, is not to talk into the camera. That’s John’s thing.
I don’t want to see anyone, including myself, do it—and I probably have done at some point. But that’s his [thing] and that’s the reason why it’s a rule—until somebody beats him and then it’s his.”
John Cena announced earlier this year that he plans to retire at the end of 2025. There’s currently no word on when Cena will be returning to WWE, but he is expected to be at Raw’s premiere episode on Netflix in January.
