"That’s way above my paygrade. I just don’t know what’s going on with that," Cena said. "I love Vince McMahon. He’s everything you could want in a great friend, business partner, father, mentor. I love the man.

"But his business dealings are his business and what he shares with me, that’s between us. But I don’t know what’s going on with the corporate structure in the WWE or the creative direction of the WWE. But when I’m there as a performer, it’s Roman Reigns’ show.

Cena was asked whether it was difficult to "reconcile the feelings" he had toward McMahon in the midst of sexual misconduct allegations against him.
