Although he has not been part of the company for quite some time now, Cena made it clear that WWE is still his family and he hopes that he will always be recognised for his illustrious WWE career.

“I hope they always view me as a member of the WWE, because I am. Whether it’s watching the events or being able to participate, any chance I’m given to answer this question, WWE is my family.”

“It’s weird that the culture is, you either do this or you do that, and for 20 years I’ve been trying to tell people, “No, it’s all really cool”. So I don’t ever want to not be known as a WWE superstar,” he said.

According to @WrestleVotes, Cena wants to do ‘something substantial’ at WrestleMania this time round in Tampa and not just an appearance like last year.
