John Cena: I Love Vince McMahon. I’m Not Downplaying Allegations Of Any Kind, But When I Love Somebody, I Love Them Wholeheartedly

John Cena still loves Vince McMahon.

The view of Vince McMahon in the public eye has shifted drastically in recent years, as the former WWE CEO was accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking in a lawsuit that was filed by Janel Grant in January 2024.

A number of wrestlers, both high and low on the totem pole, have been asked about the allegations surrounding McMahon. John Cena has been firm on his stance in the past, saying that he's going to "love the person that he loves", even if they have a "hill to climb".

While being profiled by the New York Times, Cena doubled down on his take, saying that he still loves McMahon. Still, the future Hall Of Famer made sure to note that he's not downplaying any of the allegations towards McMahon.

“I don’t care who hears it: I love Vince. I’m not downplaying anything that needs to be decided or allegations of any kind, but when I love somebody, I love them wholeheartedly. I know people are going to be angry about that, but they can’t put their value on my relationship with somebody I love.”

Earlier this week, Roman Reigns broke his silence on the allegations surrounding McMahon, calling them "embarassing". Check out his full comments on the matter here.
