John Cena can now be added to the list of wrestlers to give their take on what Taker said on the Joe Rogan podcast. He spoke out about this in a recent interview with Forbes. 

“I could look at the economics of it and make an argument that between myself—and the large amount of folks that carried on the roster beyond the Attitude Era into the Ruthless Aggression Era and the Reality Era—the fans of the Attitude Era certainly looked at our product as not what they’re used to, and it wasn’t. So I may have a bit of disagreement with Undertaker’s word choice because I don’t think it’s soft, I think it’s different.”

Cena said he is a fan of the WWE product. He said it is bold and it is forcing people to have to take chances. 

“What do I think of the WWE product right now? I love it. I think it’s bold, it’s forcing people to take chances.

Having seen it, having lived it myself, I should have just realized that the company is in transition. It takes a long time—I would say it’s three-and-a-half years or more—to build a certain talent because I’ve walked in those shoes. Now you have Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks can be in that conversation, but it’s not what I said it was in 2020. It’s not a scattered fragment of Super Friends. WWE has just refocused, re-shifted and now is consolidating on marquee stars.

They have their marquee stars and going forward they will have their big names. As far as those names being larger than life, the enormity of their impact is up to the individuals themselves.”
