John Cena was recently interviewed by The Wrap. This was in order to promote ‘Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?’, which Cena will be hosting.
During the interview, he opened up about his WWE future. He admits that WWE is at a place where they don’t need him right now.
Here is what he said:
“That literally depends on the immediate future. There’s a few opportunities that have been set in front of me. If they work out — and I hope they work out — they’ll be wonderful challenges in life and for me to grow as a person, so I’ll more than likely take them. It doesn’t mean that my heart doesn’t lie with WWE.
I’ve often said that if I’m doing something like [‘Fifth Grader’] then it’s impossible to do something like that.
I’m older now. I just turned 42, I watch WWE on a regular basis and the talent is getting faster and more precise.
I think I would have left the WWE high and dry, so to speak, [but] now they have so much talent and so many definable Superstars. There was a time when I could genuinely say, from a financial standpoint, they needed me — that time is up.”
