It's time John.

Your time is up and Roman's time is now.

Cena wins

That would be entertaining but yall know Cena ain't gonna cut his WWE ties. He needs a place to slide to in case he gets canceled.

Do you mean, if no one sees him?

I'm not going to say he's bulletproof, he definitely isn't, but after the relatively weak pushback he got on backing down about acknowledging Taiwan, he's probably going to be fine.

(For the record, I get it. It was weak, but he also was trying to look out for other people on not screwing over the production, which unfortunately meant eating crow. It happens.)

I'd say yes to something like this down the line but for a show where it could make a significant difference in business. This show is already nearly sold out and Peacock viewership is going to be high regardless. Use something like this to pop a gate and either pop a rating or prop up Peacock viewership during a typically low period.

Any gesture these days that can be construed as supporting CCP is likely to curtail one's opportunities in Hollywood. Cena may bounce back in about a year, but it's still kind of fresh in people's minds right now. Cena's walkback could be played as an ego boost for the CCP, albeit a minor one; however, it can grossly impact his bankability in the West. Thanks to the crackdown in Hong Kong, we may not see any further major films doing any principal shooting in Hong Kong or the mainland for a while - driven by studios making such decision voluntarily.

Fortunately, press junkets where the risk of the question arising are still likely to be few and far between until all this is over (the pandemic.) With the new _Suicide Squad_ in the can, Cena can cool his jets in WWE until, say, Survivor Series before he goes back for the Peacemaker series. Perhaps, by then, the kerfuffle will be over.

Cena's fine. It was a minor blip in his career and people have mostly stopped talking about it outside of wrestling circles.

Peacemaker's already been filmed, they wrapped on that a few weeks ago. He's flying out to film a new spy film at the end of August that stars Henry Cavill, Sam Jackson, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara and others. After SummerSlam and a few one-offs after that to help boost tickets, you won't see him until Mania. He's still getting work in bigger movies with prestige actors. He's probably never going to be a Rock-level movie draw, but he's doing well for himself.

Even if Cena lost, you know that dude wouldn't really retire. He'll be back in a couple years to do a match with AJ Styles.

Dude came back with no problems after having his soul absorbed by The Fiend. That stip wouldn’t mean anything

I must say right now, it’s very, very, very, very, very, very important. Dudleyville is not a country.

John Cena no-sells career ending stipulations.
