The heart of the matter

Chris Van Vliet spoke to John Cena ahead of WrestleMania 35. During the interview, Cena was asked for his opinion on All Elite Wrestling. Cena said that in his opinion, it was fantastic and added that competition drove everyone to up their game:

“I think competition is great because it forces you to step up or step aside and I think that is fantastic. We have internal competition of performers trying to be the best in our umbrella and that is wonderful because you sink or swim on your own investment. I think external competition is great because once again that will force us to step up or step aside and you can say what you want about them being competition or not competition, I view any form of digestible entertainment as competition because your eyes can go elsewhere.

So that’s how I view that. Competition also stands for the state of the wrestling economy and it’s really good right now. There are a lot of people overseas and smaller promotions are getting larger and more traction which means you are consuming more sport entertainment and/or wrestling which is great for everything.”
