Bengaluru, June 1: At the end of the Attitude Era, some of the heavyweight names left the company and this raised the demand of a new franchise player who could carry the load. John Cena suited that role perfectly from his debut in the Ruthless Aggression Era and later in the PG Era of the WWE.
There have been multiple franchise players in the WWE like The Rock, Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin. But, no one has done their job for a longer period like John Cena has done it. Be it connecting with the fans via the mic or selling merchandises, he has done it all successfully for over a decade.
But, unfortunately, every era has to come to an end. Someday, the almighty Cenation Leader will also have to hang up his boots. The day may be very close now if you consider that he is currently only a part-time performer in the company. Meanwhile, 2018 has been one of the worst years in his career, so far.
