- John Cena talks to Chris Van Vliet about his thoughts on AEW (All Elite Wrestling). John is known for his time in WWE with epic matches against The Rock, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and many others. He has had a very successful career in Hollywood starring in films like Bumblebee, Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Daddy’s Home and Trainwreck.

You can say what you want about Cena as a wrestler, but he’s damn smart and knows how to answer “tougher” questions like this.
John Cena love china and all the terrible things they do to their people.
just annoying that he never shows up for the interviews in person
He didn't really answer the actually question
Yeah dude I still can’t believe he got bigger than hulkamania dude is a ratings magnet. I remember when he first show up I said ha he ain’t going to make it . He threw that back in our faces
@@KobeLoverTatum Yeah he did. It's good for everybody. Did you actually watch the video?
I love hearing Cena answer questions like this. He's incredibly articulate
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 that is probably the most dumbest shit I have ever read. Sort yourself out mate
Was he articulate when he was sucking up to China?
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 what? Do you mean that you need to be a black man in order to be a rapper? Thats ridicolous

Also, if it was soooooooooooooooooooo DUMB, what else persona would the 2 left feet having fellow have ????? That's why I love all the wrestlers who called out the cornball. Final Thought - Does the TRUTH hurt or sticking up for idiots "the dumbest shit" ?? - please don't think too hard on that
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 why do you type like a toddler
Man's has a professional wrestling masters degree
Lmao! Anyone with a pulse during Monday night wars know this.
Well he is a doctor. Doctor of Thugonomics.
And a PhD in Thuganomics
MD, PhD
PhD in chugging CCP sperm.
Didn't once say "AEW" in his answer, but referred to it as a "start-up". That's a WWE guy right there. 10/10 answer
AEW was just starting up when this interview took place
Well tbh AEW is a great promotion but it is only like 3 years old at this point. You can argue still a "start-up".
Except he said "wrestling" and not sports entertainment
@@ChaosKnightCMV 3 years old isn’t a start up lmfao
@@MeekMillisbendingoverrn still really young tho
John Cena, the articulate Dr of 'Thuganomics' indeed
Dr Thuganomics got brought to his knees
Indubitably Indubitably
He didn’t spend 6 years in Thuganomics school for nothing.

Damn good answer.

@@bobbym1799 yeah, right ? I just see a guy with a microphone in hand asking questions to thin air 🤷♂️
Always forget that Cena is one of the best minds in wrestling. He’s been around for so long and it seems like he tries his best to keep up with what’s happening in the wrestling world
This man knows how to speak. I wish I had oratory skills like he did and I’m not just saying that because he can cut promos. I’m saying that because of how he answers questions in interviews.

You just have to think about what you say. If you think before you say something. You will indeed give the right answers.
@@Maxxwell-07Absolutely right.
@@Maxxwell-07so true
That “ahhh” at the start was “oh shit I don’t want to piss the WWE off” 🤣🤣🤣
He doesn't care! He's making SHITLOADS of money outside of them and he knows WWE knows that anytime he wants to come back he will because he will put butts in seats and make WWE money!
I don't think he cares if he pisses off the WWE or not, he has reached a level where WWE needs him and not the opposite but that's just my 2 cents.
He’s a part timer now and his name is bigger than the company , I don’t think he cares about pissing someone off at wwe lol

@@mr.stonerUDX714 but salt is present in all food
He’s just intelligent honestly. He shows that with his words body language everything. He’s mastered psychology
Cena has really defined a whole new kind of "genuineness" when it comes to his poise on the camera. He's come really far since thuganomics. Hard working and universal to his fans. Say what you want about the man... But in my opinion he's completely refined his image. Salut John.
I love John open take on this
Damn he didn't even stutter once he got going. That's how I can actually see that he means what he said
He knows how to cut a promo
Sometimes stuttering is your mouth tryna catch up to your thoughts. I hot ADHD and stutter when I get way into a conversation and I'm speaking at lightspeed. That and when I dont actually know what's coming out of my mouth until we hear it. Doesnt make it less sincere.
It's also a sign that he's been asked about AEW before either from interviewers or fellow wrestlers or he assumed that he would eventually be asked about it and though about how he would answer before hand.
You dont think cena or any wwe wrestler wouldnt be ready to answer a question about a company taking majority of the OGs or fan favorites in the company? Cena probably rehearsed his lines just like he does with promos.
He probably had an answer ready for that question as it's something he expects to be asked at some point.
basically he said, "it's good for business".
Boiled down yes that is what he said. However going into such details shows he actually has taken the time to think about the subject. Going into as much detail as he did here is far better than simply saying a PR answer.
I see what you did there Idan. ;)
Best*
He basically said: "Stonks"
CCPs poster boy.
One thing I love that I don’t think people notice is that John knows the difference between wrestling and sports entertainment. He knows WWE isn’t a wrestling company, it’s sports entertainment, but he knows AEW, Impact and smaller circuits are actual wrestlers.
Means a lot, especially coming from Cena, who didn’t perform in smaller companies before WWE
Imagine this Cena talking back to JBL during their feud. XD

He still doesn't know that Taiwan is a country.
@@whitworth5s248 Taiwan is not County Bro, is part of China
John always has the right answers.
Yeah, except that one time where he publicly licked the Communist Chineses' boots when he profusely apologized for calling Taiwan a country!
@@Bangingyourmom i mean personally i dont think he had a choice in the matter
@@kaiiiiiiiiii296 He had ALL the choice...he chose to sell out his Country for more $$$. F him.
@@Bangingyourmom i am a Cena fan and i have no idea what you’re talking about i don’t use social media and i really don’t know much about him these days what happened can you kindly share with me?
@@RepublicofNvidiaGamers He casually mentioned Taiwan as a country in a interview and the Chinese media took a caniption fit on him, very publicly and let it be known that he was on the shit-list.
Well, ol John had a big movie debut coming up in China and he stood to loose out on a few paychecks. So, instead of staying home, telling the Communist dictatorship to eat it and doing a few WWE pickup gigs for a few million to offset his loss in China, he made a sickening apology video where he looked like he was somewhere between crying and having watched someone just kick his dog. It was PATHETIC. That boy wears his soul on his sleeve for all to see and should be ashamed. You can find it on TH-cam...its sad.
He really in depth about a simple question 😂
He articulated why I tell people even talking about someone you dislike and trying to cancel them will only make them more successful. If people are talking about you, more people are learning about you. If you really dislike someone and think theyre a bad person, the best thing you can do is literally just ignore them.
Some times but when your target is already famous and has a platform the best you can do is to poison their brand so everything associated to you is considered toxic.
Even advertisers have what they consider toxic brands, brands that doesn´t matter how much you talk about them if you are associated with them you are done.
Nazis for example is one of those brands.
John needs a podcast I could listen to him waffle for hours
with as much as he does i doubt he would have the time.
🐐 response.
He always gives a perfect, respectable, and professional answer.
Except when he's kissing China's ass
I was John’s 2nd pro match in UPW when he was Prototype. John was a class act then and a class act now. A true gentleman, and I won’t ever forget how he put me over (spoke good of me and my wrestling) in front of my kids. I knew John personally and he is very cool. You go John. A great representative for anything he wants.
Cena knows his facts and speaks the truth 🔥💪🏾
He said Taiwan is not a country. He turned his back on everyone for himself. He bent over to the enemy.
@@Amor1990 The studios had him do it for the bucks I'm sure. F9 and Hollywood in general really needs them Chinese dollars.
I think even Dwayne was forced to apologize once.
I think people are really starting to learn how much they actually love this man
Who would’ve thought he’d be on this level when we first saw him on smack down🥴. He understands this business through and through.
Yeah from Steph's butt to kicking everyone's asses come a long way

@Junya well i do.during my free time, I enjoy these videos which were part of my childhood.
@Junya what did he say
Brilliant answer, articulated very well.
That was the most professional way he could’ve answered that question. Well done John
He sounds so educational when he answers its impressive how much business knowledge he has
So Cenas taken every reasonable lesson and now completely has the scope of entertainment, more eyes, more traction, more money. Al Snow has been saying that for years.
"What do you think of AEW coming in?"
CVV with that hitter.
That's why CVV is one of the best interviewers imo. He wouldn't ask that question to someone who isn't/can't be in the position to answer and possibly put themselves in trouble. But he knows Cena can answer this question articulately without any recourse from his part-time employer.
When you imagine John has to pee really bad during this interview it really changes the whole perspective.
Cena has always been impeccable at answering the tough questions. Except when it comes to China. But outside of that he's very spot on when he does speak on these topics.
He had to respond in a way to not get the wwe bad face during the China crisis.
He gave him the best unexpected answer 😂
That's why he's the GOAT
He's a pagan goat 🐐!
@@Tactical-hg7ov elaborate

"GOAT"???
Lol stop.

Love the pictography on this
Holy shit he’s so well-spoken
It really confirms Punk saying that Cena is a great improviser. I’m sure he’s been asked this before; handling it so naturally is still amazing
This was as good as a take you could have gotten, I love that he was respectful and explained in detail
great of you guys to give nice lovely subtitles, animations AND a voice over so we weren't just staring at an almost empty corridor and a wall for almost a minute
but who was he holding the mic for? there's no one there
AEW fan, WWE fan, who cares. It's just great to be a wrestling fan right now :)
Honesly. Cena was a king on the mic in WWE, but didn't know for awhile that he was good on the mic elsewhere. Always wondered how he was able to so easily articulate his thoughts
I was not expecting such an answer. Bravo. That was very well handled, and it honestly made me feel like I learned something new from all of it.
Sounds like a shareholder answer
Yes, and...?!
Like what’s that supposed to mean?
Well I’m pretty sure he owns Shares in WWE but regardless it was the correct answer to give.
A company man's answer. Vince had Cena write this script on a blackboard 1000 times.
@@AJ-xv7oh no lol
He did great. Gave the other promotions their props and stays in WWE good graces lol

I’m always happy to say I’m a John Cena even though I haven’t fully watched it after cena vs the rock era but John is always been such an awesome person overall everything. Happy for his success
Great sportsmanship and performing individual who can answer a professional and concise question. Any venue without considerate competition spells a stagnant market. Folks that have brains and brawn shine in any era!!
Sounds like he knows his shit on the business side of things
He should replace triple H
would be the biggest revenge for the whole 'John Cena can't wrestle' that Triple H started.
@@Aburg76 I didn't known that triple H was the guy who started that
Yeah. He should leave Hollywood and do what you say because you have his life figured out. Sounds about right
@@AhtoNajeebRashied I love you brother
I like the diversity of wrestling these days. More styles, different stars on the screen, lots of great matches going on. Big ups AEW and the forbidden door.
This guy will be a politician one day. Damn good answer.
The way that John Cena breaks things down tells you that he knows what he is talking about & what he sees. He knows how to answer a question when you try to back him into a corner.
This is why i love cena so much not only is he such a great wrestler but he is such a knowledgable guy
John really is a insanely intelligent human being.
Me 10 years ago would not be able to comprehend how much me today loves John Cena
Better late than never 👍🏻
Glad he acknowledges them and doesn’t act like they’re not competition. As far as a wrestling show they’re miles ahead of WWE
lmao
lmao..wwe profits are more than all other promotions combined still..
@@nisargkasturiwale3877 and that matters why? You are comparing profits of a 40+ year old stock traded company to a 3 year old start up and others that are all self funded. I'll stick with the ones that don't water down the wrestling to appease stockholders.
@@kartzzy6101 ok
@@kartzzy6101 Because aew doesnt have guys like danhausen and a guy whose whole gimmick is he's lazy? or over the top clearly staged spots, like 1 of the young bucks steadying his partner for 15 secs to take a canadian destroyer from marko stunt, then proceeds to collapse like someone just kicked him in the mouth? AEW relies too much on factions and mutiple man tag matches. Reminds me of wcw right before wwe bought them.
Easy to see why he's the best on the mic, the guy just knows what to say and how to say it.
Crazy how within my timespan John cena has debuted came up became one of the best despite the criticism and is a spokesman and a legend now watching the new era come up.
Cena is so professional 👏
I love this man.
Why is the interviewer just standing there holding a mic up to thin air?
John Cena’s explanation about this topic is beyond and above straight forward💯
This wisdom can NEVER be overrated
I 😂 love animes girl
He’s got a degree in thuganomics and in Wrestling Education😂😂
“sports entertainment”
"sports entertainment", lol.
Cena to the Jericho Appreciation Society confirmed. 😸
I'm going to hit with a fireball because I'm a wizard! Lol so stupid but I somehow find his character hilarious.
@@DavidDavisDH Jericho just reinvents Mannnn
@@DavidDavisDH makes me laugh every time I hear Chris Jericho say "cuz I'm a wizard"
This is why he was the guy and a great ambassador for the company
Having not watched for twenty plus years, John Cena has been a pleasant surprise while catching up on what's happened. Class act, great ambassador, solid wrestler and I'm a fan now.
I mean, he's right, there's no, "ifs", and, "buts", about it🤷🏿♂️. Though I wish he wouldn't have emphasized, "sports entertainment", however, aside from that, I can't disagree with him.
Pretty sure his boss wouldn't have been happy if he actually said pro wrestling, cuz those are swear words to him.
@@ShiftaelV2 Hum, that could be true🤔
He did say "the state of the wrestling economy" and followed sports entertainment the first time with "and/or wrestling". He did spend a lot of time with a company that emphasizes the term sports entertainment rather than pro wrestling so it's prob more of an acquired habit, I know after working at a certain establishment many years I say "guest" instead of "customer" because that's what we had to say and we would be corrected if we slipped, lol.
@@kennyfleck8630 Hum, that's a fair assessment, I'll give you that🤔
@@wesmyone9562 I don't think you know how this works, lol. You're supposed to vehemently disagree.
I hear a voice but there's only one guy, is he in interviewing a ghost?
But in all seriousness, John is correct in everything he said in this interview
"Because your eyes could go elsewhere" is what my gf always says to me.
Damn bro.
Agree 100%. The Sports Entertainment/Pro Wrestling industry is booming. And he nailed it. Competition makes everyone better.
That is a McMahon prodigy right there. Vince taught him well.
I know this is random, but... Rest In Peace Ring Of Honor. We will always remember what classics you brought us! Their time has come and passed, and now its time for the future.
The future (so far) looks bright for ROH though! A hell of a lot of opportunity for it to grow and grab more spotlight now, espically for up and coming wrestlers. Time will tell, but I'm actually very optimistic!
woah. well. fucking. said. 💯
Damn those thugonomics are really paying off
The addition of AEW is great for business and WWE fans should support both companies, not because they find one more entertaining than the other but because having two major thriving companies like WWE and AEW is great for the talent and even better for the fans. It makes EVERYTHING better. So, I support both and encourage people to watch both.
I can’t watch wwe, it’s just boring
Brock and Reins again for main event, boring
Reigns will never be as good as cena on the mic... or at Interviews
John Cena certainly came a long way, from “maybe I’m just a Neanderthal” to “Taiwan is a great country… oh I mean, oh shit me so sorry China” to this, the way he handled the question flawlessly, it’s beautiful to watch.
Honestly, i could see him become the potus one day....
I think he's too smart to get into that Bullshit tbh
I like Cena well enough but I don't know if he would make a good President!
And why do people want all these "great" people to be President?! The President doesn't have NEARLY the power people think they do!
No dont ruin Cena
"the invisible president"
I remember him in 05 06 I was one of those dudes saying “he can’t wrestle” but by that point the train had gone there was no stopping him he was gonna be the top guy, I gotta say 16 years later he proved to be a legend his wrestling improved and wether u like it or not he’s gotta be considered in the top 10 wwe guys of all time
This is why cena is so good on the mic & great wrestler turned actor.
Hey Cena what do you think about "the sovereign nation of Taiwan"
Wait for it
Cry me a river
AEW is absolutely KILLING WWE in terms of quality and HAS been since it started with 'All In'.
WWE is getting horrid. Can't even watch it anymore. Haven't been able to sit thru a WWE show in a few years. (NxT doesn't count).
AEW has provided pro-wrestling fans with something to actually sit thru and actually enjoy.
Then damn you're a boring person lol
What does this have to do with anything
I'll say that's mainly because WWE has become Sports Entertainment, AEW is Professional Wrestling.
Now, WWE has aspects of wrestling, they have wrestlers, they have wrestling matches and put on wrestling shows but they focus more on the "Superstar" aspect rather than a "Professional Wrestler" aspect. They've been doing this since the beginning of time, Hulk Hogan was the most popular Superstar in wrestling in the 80s, he couldn't wrestle for the life of him but he was popular because he was the gimmick and he was a "Super Hero" to fans around the world. WWE is in an era now where they have great wrestlers like Ricochet, Cesaro (Had), Chad Gable, Mustafa Ali, etc. but they're not gonna draw because they're superior wrestlers, not sports entertainers. Roman Reigns has built up an insane amount of star power to the point where I can say in 5-7 years people are going to look back and say he was a draw, you also have to understand the aspect of TV Ratings, a large majority people have stopped watching cable TV, WWE isn't dead, It's not dying, WWE has 26.3 Million Followers on Instagram alone and that's a lot. They're socially relevant, something CM Punk in 2011 was trying to make them because they weren't. AEW Is a great product but as someone who has the mindset of Sports Entertainment over Professional Wrestling, I enjoy a Superstar over a Professional Wrestler. Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson are all amazing, top 10 in the world as far as wrestling goes but let's be real here, people fell in love with Stone Cold Steve Austin because he was an alcoholic who kicked Vince McMahon's ass, not because he was a great wrestler, people fell in love with The Rock because he was the greatest on the mic and could come back with insanely good insults in a seconds thought, he told a story in the ring, people fell in love with Cena more so after his prime in 2016 because he was shoved down the fans throats but he still put butts in seats and made them insane amounts of money, why stop that? I really can't say that I've ever seen WWE/WWF as Professional Wrestling ever, It's always been about the story and for people who say there aren't storylines now, I'd say the best correction of that statement is there's only very few, Roman vs Lesnar has really been the only Story Line I'm interested in, I'm interested in Edge vs Styles because of the Wrestling and the rest of the card are just fillers if I'm being real.
Also loved NXT but the reason you were able to sit through the whole show is because it was Professional Wrestling all around, It was basically AEW before AEW
Thanks, Mark. Loved you in "Four Brothers", man ..
And he was bang on. Look at wwe today. Its the best its been in absolute years. Granted theres a few reasons for this, but competition has definitely played a part
That was exceptionally articulate. Cena is a gem.
If you have pure intent and attitude of giving your 100% then u will love competition because good competition will push your limits and pushing limits is fun u grow a lot by pushing your limits.
John Cena is right on point with his response
it also keeps wrestler's salaries up if they have other promotions they can go to. I hope jumping from promo to promo gets less taboo
The professor of thuganomics is Spot-On - Love it or not - AEW WWE COMPETITION IS GOOD AS IT CREATES MOTIVATION FOR BETTER PRODUCTS.❤❤💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Dudes a class act
Cena always seems like a decent dude. No one ever complains about him and he always comes across as positive. Glad he is doing well.
