John Cena has looked back on his WWE career and one statistic that not all fans agreed with.
Although “Big Match John” had a reputation for never giving up and always overcoming the odds, it would often be to the detriment of his opponents. Winning matches and rivalries when others would have benefitted more from the victory, the online fans made fun of the repeated result with the phrase “LOL Cena Wins.”
Aware of the punchline, Cena explained why the victories had to happen while speaking with Chris McPherson of Collider:
“One of the biggest hang-ups in the middle portion of my career was that, spoiler alert, John wins. What people don’t understand is, I think now, maybe, as we begin to reflect back here on this last run of like, ‘Hey, man, I was in it for the long haul. The way you make those losses impactful is sometimes you’ve got to win, and sometimes you’ve got to win a lot. Any time you can pass energy on to somebody, that’s kind of the life cycle of the business. You come in an unknown and, hopefully, you get the flywheel spinning, you create all this energy on your way out, you pay it forward, you pass it off.”
