John Cena Reveals What Thing His WWE Character Could Never Do

WWE

John Cena has revealed that while he had creative freedom in WWE, there was always one thing that he could absolutely never do.

In an appearance on the Howard Stern show, John Cena opened up about a variety of topics in support of his latest projects.

However amid the topics of conversation related to his time in WWE, John Cena reflected on his transition into Hollywood roles from his character in WWE.

Cena said:

“I think it was two-fold. One, my body was like, ‘You say you can do this forever. I’m going to give you another five years, max.’

“That was me saying, ‘If I super take care of myself, I can stretch it to ten.’ For me, ten years is like, ‘I’m going to live forever.’ That’s a blink of an eye in WWE. You’re on the road so much, you blink, a decade goes by.

“I realized it’s something that I can’t do forever, combined with the fact that I didn’t have a lot of wild creative freedom in WWE.

“I had complete creative freedom over how I could curate my character, but I couldn’t turn bad. That limits what you’re capable of.

“Playing the same character over and over again for 15 years, every week, without an offseason, I still love it, and I still do, that’s why I go back.

“Then, someone gives you an opportunity like, ‘You want to be this weird, awkward, naked guy?’ ‘F**k yeah, that sounds great, let’s do it,'”

John Cena last competed at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia where he lost to Solo Sikoa.
