John Cena Indicates WWE Doesn't Need Him Anymore

John Cena was recently interviewed by The Wrap in which he discussed the possibility of returning to semi-regular in-ring competition, WWE no longer needing him and WWEā€™s rough financial start to 2019.

Check out the highlights below:

Possibly returning to semi-regular in-ring competition:Ā 

ā€œThat literally depends on the immediate future. Thereā€™s a few opportunities that have been set in front of me,ā€ Cena said. ā€œIf they work out ā€” and I hope they work out ā€” theyā€™ll be wonderful challenges in life and for me to grow as a person, so Iā€™ll more than likely take them. It doesnā€™t mean that my heart doesnā€™t lie with WWE.

ā€œIā€™ve often said that if Iā€™m doing something like [ā€˜Fifth Graderā€™] then itā€™s impossible to do something like that. Iā€™m older now. I just turned 42, I watch WWE on a regular basis and the talent is getting faster and more precise.ā€

WWE no longer needing him:Ā Ā 

ā€œI think I would have left the WWE high and dry, so to speak, [but] now they have so much talent and so many definable Superstars,ā€ Cena said. ā€œThere was a time when I could genuinely say, from a financial standpoint, they needed me ā€” that time is up.ā€

WWEā€™s rough financial start to 2019:

Ā ā€œI only got a chance to be on television becauseĀ Brock LesnarĀ left, Steve Austin left,Ā Dwayne JohnsonĀ left, Mick Foley got hurt, Triple H got hurt,Ā the UndertakerĀ got hurt,ā€ Cena said. ā€œ[McMahonā€™s] class of the Attitude Era changed and they had to rely on new people. In doing that, they took a tremendous financial hit up front, but in the longterm it ended up going strong for a decade and a half.

ā€œ[WWE is] certainly in a better place now than they were in letā€™s say 2003, and I know Vince will say on a quarterly call that he needs his stars, but heā€™s also aware that heā€™s developing them at a more rapid rate than he did when I started. So I think the future is tremendously bright for WWE.

ā€œThe WWE does not need me. I need it and I love it, and I love every single moment Iā€™m associated with it. But I felt it the first time this year at WrestleMania: I took a step back and looked at everything and (realized) it is such a powerful machine.ā€
