John Cena isnt dodging the conversation about Vince McMahons massive downfalland hes revealing exactly how the man who built WWE also taught him that no one is bigger than the company.
On The Bill Simmons Podcast, the 17-time world champion opened up about McMahons departure after facing a lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking, misconduct, and directing former employee Janel Grant to engage in non-consensual sexual acts with others in the company. The scandal forced McMahon to resign from both WWE and TKO Holdings in early 2024.
John Cena didnt sugarcoat the situation, but he leaned heavily on one lesson he says McMahon personally taught him: everyone is replaceable.
Despite calling the fallout unfortunate and admitting he still has love for Vince and wishing he was still in WWE, Cena made it clear that the show must go onwith or without its longtime leader.
He even pointed to a time he saw Vince fire Stone Cold Steve Austin for missing a date, just to send a message that no onenot even WWEs biggest drawwas above the system.
Cena didnt defend McMahons alleged behaviorbut he simply talked about what McMahon built and what happens next.
Love him or hate him, John Cena isnt ducking the hard conversations. And in doing so, hes putting the focus back on accountabilityeven at the top.
