As many of you know, John Cena had to apologize to China for calling Taiwan a country in a recent interview while promoting Fast & Furious 9. He said that Taiwan was the first country to see the film before its release.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast shared the backstage reaction to the situation in these posts on Twitter:
This John Cena apology is NOT going over well at WWE right now…

The apology bothers them because they didn’t issue it. It was outside pressure that they have no control over

It wasn’t a wwe call.

They know. A lot of the chatter from non executive level status was negative. Personally I don’t know what the boards opinion was but I have heard it’s not positive
