John Cena recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to talk about his partnership with the FitOps Foundation, which is a nonprofit committed to training and certifying veterans as personal trainers.
Here are the highlights:
Missing WWE:
“I can vaguely relate with my own experience away from WWE,” said Cena. “I’m so grateful to be doing some amazing things right now, but I still miss WWE and still ask myself, ‘Who am I?’ when I am not active with WWE. My identity was so closely tied to WWE for so long.”
Randy Orton’s challenge to WrestleMania 36 match:
“I wasn’t even aware of that,” said Cena. “I never make the matches, I’m just grateful to be able to perform in WWE. Every day away from it, I miss it more and more and more. I’m becoming more honest with myself about how much I miss it. I’m very eager to get back into a WWE ring soon.
And on the subject of WrestleMania, I can tell you this—I haven’t missed a WrestleMania since my first appearance at WrestleMania 19, and I do not plan to miss a WrestleMania for decades to come.”
