On John Cena’s dramatic exit at No Mercy:
EB: I’ve been predicting that John would be phasing himself out of the active WWE scheduling. It’s not a secret. He’s doing more and more television, more and more movies and he’s certainly put in his share of time in the ring and on that WWE schedule. Probably full time, times two on the WWE schedule. I’m surprised it’s taken this long quite honestly. He’s an amazing, amazing performer with amazing endurance and I am happy for him. I am not surprised. I’ve been predicting this for six months or a year.
