THE last time SunSport spoke to John Cena it was very controversial.
First he told us injury and movie commitments would mean he was away from our screens for months – before returning less than a week later.
Then he criticised The Rock for turning his back on a business he claimed he loved, fuelling a debate that went around the globe and led to Rocky getting his own back at the WWE Hall Of Fame.
Now, catching up with Cena again, the world’s most prominent wrestler expands on what he told us and the fallout from it.
He also reveals his frustration with making movies, disappointment at Ric Flair’s shortened HOF speech and views on this weekend’s huge WWE Judgment Day PPV.

He said: ‘What do you think about the Rumble?’
I replied: ‘Are you kidding me? Let’s go!’
