Cena is now retired but remains a revered figure in the wrestling world and a successful Hollywood star. While acknowledging the potential backlash from his comments, Cena stated in an interview with The Guardian that he has no guilt or shame about his friendship and relationship with McMahon.\n\nThe comments have sparked a heated debate among WWE fans, with many expressing their disagreements. Some see Cena's praise for McMahon as blind loyalty, while others argue that Cena risks damaging his legacy by showing unwavering support for someone who doesn't deserve it. However, others appreciate Cena's right to have his own opinion and stand firm on it, regardless of the backlash.\n\nDespite the various viewpoints, Cena's comments certainly grabbed the headlines and stirred up the online WWE community. With a complex relationship to McMahon, it remains to be seen whether Cena will regret his stance or face any long-term repercussions from these remarks.",
