During a recent interview with The Wrap, former WWE Champion John Cena spoke about a number of different topics including the promotion of his show, “American Grit,” as well as the number of movies he’s in. But what caught some attention was Cena’s comments on the notion that he has buried young talent in the past.

Here’s how he responded when asked about his “burying” of young talent:

“This is why I have the reputation of quote-unquote ‘burying younger talent,’ because I will let them do whatever they want with me — and then after they get done, they’re not as motivated. So, it’s not that I sink their ship, it’s that they fail to operate at an elite level. And I’m on to the next person, [to] whom I say, “Hey man, bring your best punch and I’m gonna punch back” — and they don’t take that attitude beyond me.”
