John Cena: “I Also Know That My Days Are Numbered”

Rusev blindsides John Cena ahead of their Flag Match: SmackDown LIVE, July 18, 2017

WWE superstar John Cena was recently interviewed by Complex where he discussed a number of topics. He talked about his future with the company and gave some interesting realizations.

Below are some questions, along with Cena’s answers:

You recently made your return to the WWE, and leading into that a lot of people were giving you the tag of being a “part-timer.” You made it a point of saying that you’re not a part timer, but that you’re an all-timer. Do these labels affect you and how you’re operating in your WWE career today?

Yes and no. I’m still a fan of the WWE and I think that’s the most important thing. When you’re a fan, you stay very close to all the programming and all the broadcasts, there’s no dipping around the fact that I haven’t been on the program in a while because I’ve been doing other stuff. I haven’t danced around it, I explained that the reason I cannot be on the program is because the movie folks, their insurance doesn’t allow you to. That’s a dealbreaker, it’s not negotiable. But instead of laying low for a few months before I start another project, the second that I wrapped, I scurried on a plane and got right back into the WWE fold. I guess that’s what I mean by all-timer.

Can you talk about the idea of you being a “free agent” in the WWE?

The reason that I wanted to be a free agent and the reason they kind of granted my request is because I don’t know if I’ll be available for Smackdownspecific only or Raw specific only, and I also know that my days are numbered. I just turned 40 in April and we have so many young and talented performers, I don’t know how many years I have left. So in the time I have left, I’m gonna do what I can to dedicate to this company I just want to be able to do it the most time that I possibly can.

When you’re done wrestling, how do you see yourself being involved with the WWE, if involved at all?

If the day comes when I’m not involved with the WWE that would come as a drastic surprise to me. I would certainly understand it because we all have our career paths and nothing lasts forever but WWE has been my family for the past 15 years and I’ve been very vocal about my passion and love for not just my time in the ring as a wrestler, but the company itself, what it stands for, the people that work for. I literally would do whatever they asked me to. In whatever capacity I can help the company I would love to do so.

They also discuss his proposition to Nikki Bella at WrestleMania, his acting career and more.
