JOHN CENA COMMENTS ON WWE-NETFLIX DEAL, THE ROCK TAKING A SEAT ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At the world premiere of Argylle in London, John Cena spoke to Variety about the WWE Netflix deal and Dwayne Johnson joining the TKO Board of Directors. 

On Johnson, Cena commented, "That’s great for WWE, that’s obviously great for TKO. It came in tandem with an announcement that Dwayne Johnson is now on the board of TKO and he’s going to be more involved with WWE — that warms my heart. I think it’s great for Netflix because WWE will get global exposure and it will help Netflix in all of its markets. WWE’s been around the world forever, so Netflix immediately gets a global property that they don’t have to air U.S.-only or Canada-only, they can put it everywhere. And with WWE, the entertainment never stops. They know they have a reliable source of constant entertainment. This is a partnership that’s great for both brands. I couldn’t be happier."

He was also asked whether he would be making any appearances on Netflix, "I will retire soon from in-ring action. WWE’s always my family, I’ll always be there in any capacity they’ll have me, but we got a wonderful young generation that needs to strut their stuff. I hope I’m lucky enough to be on Netflix in 2025."
