John Cena and Randy Orton are the biggest draws in WWE, so their reactions to sexual allegations against Vince McMahon need attention.
John Cena And Randy Orton React To Vince McMahon Claims
Vince McMahon retired from WWE in the summer of 2022. Within months, he was back on the board.
Then, only a few months later, WWE was sold to the same company that owns the UFC. As part of the deal, Vince remained a member of the TKO Board.
Vince should have stayed retired because now we are learning about his past. In particular, hush-money payments and being accused of sexual abuse and sex traffic.
So, we are hearing from John Cena and Randy Orton. It is important what they say considering they spent over two decades with Vince and are considered the top stars of at least their generation.
“I don’t think it’s complicated to talk about,” said Cena on the Howard Stern Show. “It’s complicated to listen to.”
“I can say this, I’m a big advocate of love and friendship and honesty, and communication, in the same breath, I’m also a big advocate of accountability. If someone’s behavior lies so far outside of your value system that the balance shifts of, ‘I can’t operate in a world where this works.’ That’s the end result of being accountable.”
“It’s largely my construct of operating with honesty and communication. Those are strong leads to handling any problem or achievement.”
“The whole thing is super unfortunate and it sucks. It deals with an individual I love and an entity I love.”
“I want everyone to have the experience that I have. Not only do I tell a friend that I love them, but I switch to the entity and say, ‘How can I help?’”
Disbelief Continues From Top Stars
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Orton gave his side.
“I wouldn’t be where I am without Vince McMahon taking a chance on me a handful of times,” said Orton. “I would not be where I am today without Vince McMahon.”
“But, I’m reading this sh-t. What you’ve seen and read, I’ve seen and read.”
“As far as commenting on that, it f-ck hurts my heart. It hurts my heart.”
Like the few who have commented about Vince, they are in shock. Also, nobody is admitting they knew this was taking place for yeas; if not decades.
Somehow, Vince was convinced to resign from the TKO Board. So, the company manages does control and WrestleMania 40.
Personally, Vince is simply a terrible person. If he committee any of those acts, he deserves prison.
And, that could happen. Lawyers are asking for anyone to come-forward with news to share.
So, did Randy Orton and John Cena make the right statements about the sexual allegations against Vince McMahon?
