Last Monday, John Cena returned to WWE programming. However, he was noticeably absent from Monday Night Raw this week even though he was scheduled for WWE’s debut of Smackdown that taped tonight. This leads to the question of whether or not John Cena is slowly transitioning to Hollywood.
The leader of the Cenation recently did an interview with The New York Times examining pro wrestling transitioning to Hollywood, how he balances Hollywood and wrestling, and how he feels about leaving WWE.

How are movies affecting his commitment to WWE?
“I have a very good mutual understanding with my boss that I don’t ever want to leave; I really like it in the ring,” Cena said. “I try to pick opportunities that don’t take me away from WWE for too long. I try to do opportunities that can really help expand our audience and bring new eyes to our product.”
Why does Cena prefer comedy over action?
“Doing action wasn’t a real good fit for me because it’s the opposite of how I work. It was extremely choreographed and extremely scripted.
