John Cena was originally set to compete in the World Cup tournament at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on Friday, but Cena pulled out of the event and Bobby Lashley will be replacing him in the tournament.
TMZ recently caught up with Randy Orton at the airport and when asked about Cena pulling out of the event, Orton questioned Cena’s status as a wrestler.
“Does he still wrestle?” Orton continued, “I didn’t know he pulled out.”
When it comes to the criticism surrounding the event, Orton doesn’t seem to be bothered as he noted that he’s doing what he has to do to make money for his family.
“I’ve got 5 kids. I gotta go make that dollar. If they want me in Saudi, I’m going to Saudi.”
