You gotta come out of pocket — & WWE has a ton of content — it takes a lot to be a passionate fan & our fanbase is passionate & global. I never wanted to go out there just for the sake of going out there. And I’m gonna be 47 this year. I feel great. So inside I feel great, but I know what it takes to be a WWE performer night in & night out & I don’t ever wanna just go out there & do it to do it. I wanna have the passion — the same passion as the fanbase — & I wanna give them exactly what they give me. The miles on the speedometer say, ‘Hey, that’s gotta be done before 50’, [that’s] the timeline I’ve put on myself,” John Cena said.
