John Cena is unwilling to continue working for WWE while fulfilling his acting duties. Speaking at the press conference held after WWE Fastlane, Cena said that there are too many people that would be out of work if he were to get hurt wrestling while simultaneously trying to be an actor.
Cena said, “I’ve made it clear that you can’t do both because of the liability insurance. If I were to try and juggle both, that’s very selfish because I would put a whole lot of people in the movie business out of work if something were to happen to me. Yes, I stopped a project in the middle of it, I can’t even talk about the project because of the strike, but we’re in the middle of it. As soon as we get back to work, we go back to work. I don’t control any of that. I’m crossing my fingers and I hope we can find a resolve everyone is happy with. For right now, I feel this is the best way I can help. To come back home to my family.”
John Cena recently returned to WWE and has been regularly appearing on weekly TV as the SAG-AFTRA strike is ongoing. Cena has made it clear that his time with WWE is unfortunately winding down by the day and he does not know how much time he has left in the ring.
