John Cena is the biggest box office attraction in professional wrestling, and he is just starting to make a dent in the entertainment world. Cena has already filmed two seasons of American Grit for NBC, guest hosted the iconic Saturday Night Live show in December, and is now a spokesman for the global brand of Nintendo.

The sixteen-time WWE world champion is appointment viewing whenever he appears on WWE programming, but all is not perfect for Cena. His sixteenth title reign, for instance, only lasted two weeks.

Critics and casual fans alike were enamored with the Royal Rumble match between Cena and AJ Styles. Cena, who was originally nicknamed “The Prototype” in WWE developmental for sporting a look that was bound to connect with wrestling fans, has a far different story in pro wrestling from Styles. The 39-year-old Styles finally began wrestling in the WWE this past year, although a great deal of his peers already considered Styles to be the best technical wrestler in the business.

“I’m really happy that people were interested in everything we did,” said Cena. “I think it was a really good opportunity for AJ Styles to show exactly how gifted he is, and, in my mind, he is tremendously gifted.”

Cena is extremely proud to be connected with the Nintendo Switch, which is a brand new gaming console that can be played both at home and on-the-go, particularly since he is so connected to the brand after dedicating a portion of his childhood to playing video games on his Nintendo.

“I am a certainly a child of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, as the gamer Hall of Famers attribute it,” said Cena. “That eight-bit graphical interface has truly stood the test of time, and now you see so many vintage designs and content available in eight-bit. I grew up with the start of the original eight games licensed from Nintendo—Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., which was before Super Mario Bros., then Super Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Urban Champion, Gyromite with the robot. You name it, I had it. I grew up through all that.”

Cena was also asked his opinion of who is more presidential: the sometimes-controversial Vince McMahon or the seemingly always controversial Donald Trump?

“Donald Trump is the president of the United States, so by definition of title, Commander-in-Chief would make Donald Trump more presidential,” said Cena. “That’s how you can print my answer.”
