Triple H explains the popularity of John Cena

Basically, the constant appearance of Cena has helped build the brand value and image. WWE has benefited immensely from headlining John Cena. Triple H countered the argument of always headlining John Cena, with the fact that it’s always successful.

“People will say all the time about Cena like, I read that all the time, ‘don’t we listen?’ People are tired of seeing him, they don’t want to see him win, they don’t want to see this.” 

Furthermore, he also suggested that his fan following has not wavered over time. Triple H believed that no matter what, people were still watching him. They were still crazy about him.

“There’s such a long period of time where half the people were booing John and half the people were cheering for him, but he was packing arenas, he sold more merchandise, he was more popular than ever. Everything that we did, John was so far ahead,” he said.

Will he return for a match?
