What was said
"No, it wasn't maybe this is over. It was like, "Hey, we're doing December cuts and your name's on the list.""
Cena recalls being explicitly warned early in his WWE run that he was slated for roster cuts, describing it as a moment that forced him to take risks creatively. He links that period to the origin of his on-screen rapper persona after he decided to join other wrestlers freestyling in the back of a bus.
