John Cena was recently interviewed on the Playback podcast. Cena spoke on a wide variety of topics about his wrestling and acting careers. One of the questions he was asked was if he ever sees himself in a backstage role with WWE, similar to how Triple H has successfully transitioned.

Cena would praise Triple H for the work that he has done with NXT. He also says he would be interested in a job with WWE behind-the-scenes in some capacity:
“Yeah, people don’t understand it’s a business of creativity and I’m wearing a suit right now because I’m comfortable in a suit. Everyone’s like, ‘ah, dress casual.’ This is my casual. I don’t mind being in a suit. I have a more Vince style than I have a Triple H style, but you get to be creative. What Triple H has done with NXT is literally creating another functioning brand for the company. That is awesome! Like, I tell him all the time. I’m fascinated by the growth and development. It’s amazing to see them run two functional brands now we legit have a third that we can set up in a town for one of our big four pay-per-views and sell out five days in a row. That’s unheard of in the ticket-tearing business. That’s unheard of.”
He continued:
“I would love to do something like that and I don’t even mean in that major of a capacity. I live very close to the Performance Center in Orlando. I would love to just go there everyday and give advice. I love going to the Performance Center every once in a while and just giving a way left field look of, ‘I know you’re being told this by your coaches, I’ll drop, like, some weird fortune cookie moments on them and just about-face and leave and everyone’s scratching their heads going, ‘what happened?’. I like that too, man. You don’t have to be in charge of creativity to be around the creativity. I just love the creativity of the business.”

He also says that it would take WWE telling him that they don’t need him anymore for him to walk away.
