– John Cena Sr. was contacted by veteran pro wrestling journalist Bill Apter of SportsKeeda, who asked the father of John Cena for his thoughts on his son’s shocking heel turn from WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto.

“I’m tired of guys like you, I’m tired of the other phone calls that I’m getting,” Cena Sr. replied. “I don’t know why he did what he did. You’re gonna have to get that from him.”

Cena Sr. continued, “I am so tired of this. Why don’t we just let it play out and find out what’s happening. A reporter is a reporter. Listen Bill Apter, ‘friend,’ enough is enough. Thanks! I won’t say what Cody Rhodes said to you, but what I will say is have a nice day and thanks for nothing.”
