6. “I Don’t Plan On Leaving The WWE Ever” – John Cena
During an interview with Extra, 15 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena was asked about leaving WWE for Hollywood. Below is what the “Leader of the Cenation” had to say:
“I don’t plan on leaving the WWE ever. WWE airs in 180 countries, they have 650 million homes they reach each week, they have over half a billion social followers. Why in the name of whatever we believe in would I shut that off? They have such a powerful voice, such an excited fan base, and I actually love doing it.”
This is good news for WWE as Cena has been the company’s cash cow for over 10 years now and is still the #1 draw in the company among the full time WWE Superstars.
