As noted before, John Cena stated in an interview with the Howard Stern Show this past February that despite the sex trafficking allegations against former WWE and TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon, he still loves McMahon and considers him to be a big friend.
The New York Times held a recent interview with Cena. One of the topics discussed included Cena’s past comments about McMahon and stated that despite knowing it would anger people, he does not care and still has the same level of love for McMahon as a friend. Cena also stated that his love of McMahon as a friend is also not him downplaying the allegations against McMahon.
“I don’t care who hears it: I love Vince,” Cena told the New York Times. “I’m not downplaying anything that needs to be decided or allegations of any kind, but when I love somebody, I love them wholeheartedly.
I know people are going to be angry about that, but they can’t put their value on my relationship with somebody I love.”
