WWE has been making a lot of headlines recently. Initially, it created a sensation after announcing its merger with the UFC. Then the news of talent and corporate releases came through, followed by the news of AEW giving tough competition to the Stamford-based promotion. In such circumstances, it seems WWE legend John Cena has an opinion to share.
WWE recently merged with the UFC under TKO Group Holdings. This resulted in the Stamford-based promotion cutting talent in a huge capacity. Several top-level Superstars have recently been released by the company.
In addition to that, WWE veteran Edge recently left the promotion to sign with WWE’s rival promotion, AEW. With Edge’s arrival in the promotion, the Jacksonville-based promotion has been giving stiff competition to the Stamford-based promotion. However, despite everything happening around him, John Cena remains confident.
