John Cena recently spoke with ESPN to promote his involvement with Wonderful Pistachios' new advertising campaign, where features him as the voice of "Ernie The Elephant."
During the interview, Cena spoke about his commitment to WWE since he has been branching out over the past several months.
"I'll answer it like this: Every single day that I don't have an outside obligation, I will fulfill any commitment that I have to WWE. And I will attach this quote with it that every outside obligation I have is to expand the brand of WWE and there has never been a superstar to say that before."
Additionally, Cena talked about why he decided to drop his old "Doctor of Thuganomics" persona and move on to the character he portrays today.
"To me, there was definitely some method behind it. Hip-hop certainly is in sync with the youth and every day that passes I grow less youthful, as much as I have tried to hold onto it. I knew that the platform really wouldn't be indicative of success. I knew [the PG format] would just drastically change the style and almost cripple the character so I was the one proactively who said 'no' and said 'I would like to take everything another way.'"
