In an interview with The Wrap, John Cena talked about his future career prospects and whether that also involved another lengthy stay in WWE.
There are 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.
Cena is currently tackling hosting duties on Nickelodeon’s revival of Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? He feels that it’s impossible to balance a job like that with putting in good in-ring work. In addition, he doesn’t want to be seen in a negative light in WWE now that he’s older. “I just turned 42, I watch WWE on a regular basis and the talent is getting faster and more precise.”
Cena goes on to comment that he speaks with Vince McMahon on a regular basis and he feels that WWE is in a great place. “There was a time when I could genuinely say, from a financial standpoint, they needed me — that time is up.”
