In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Copeland was asked whether John Cena tapping out in his final match against Gunther was the right decision. He said, “I mean, I can see the argument for sure. I guess for me, what it boils down to is what John think, and I know he didn’t have a problem with it. There’s my answer.”
He was then asked whether being in the movie and TV business changed how he viewed the situation. Copeland was given the example of Quentin Tarantino making a movie he loved despite the audience’s disliking it. “In his eyes,” Copeland replied.
When Helwani asked if Cena’s own feelings mattered more than the public reaction, Copeland agreed. Copeland explained that Cena is the one living with it. “To me, yes, because he’s the one who has to be at peace or not at peace. Those other people are going to move on. And they can be worked up about it and this and that. And they even when they go back to think about it. But John is the one who has to walk in John’s shoes every day. So if John’s cool with it, then who am I to not be cool with it?”
