John Cena Explains Why Now Is A Good Time To Take Time Off From WWE

John Cena did an interview with Zap2It.com to promote his new FOX reality show, American Grit, and during that interview revealed why he felt that now was the time for him to take time off from WWE to film a TV series.

“I’ve been a cornerstone of WWE programming since 2002. That’s a long time, it’s more than 10 years,” he says during a group interview with a handful of outlets. “So much so that a portion of our audience has direct complacency with me. ‘Man, Cena holds everybody down. He doesn’t give the new guys a chance.’”

“Personally, and this gives me a better perspective on Dwayne Johnson’s path, you get to a certain point, and you cannot attract any more fans, he says. “Essentially, my productivity from a company standpoint … I’ve done as much as I can — 15 world championships and a myriad of other accomplishments. I don’t know what left I can do, but I still want to be able to put people in the building.”
