Cena reveals why he isn't around much:

"I would do both at the same time, but the movie guys are a little weird with their insurance. They don't want me to go smashing my face up. I'm excited for all the opportunities outside the WWE ring, only because it raises awareness of the WWE. I take great pride in my profession, but I'm very aware of the perception of it. I think a lot of people think we are just what we are, and that's it. There's nothing wrong with that. But there are plenty of talented people who travel with the WWE and produce wonderful entertainment every week. We do live sports entertainment, and it's like no other. To be able to do stuff like this outside of the norm and for people to say, 'Wow, that's pretty good,' that bodes well for getting more eyes on the ring."
