WWE top star John Cena has years of practice turning crowd resentment into a positive. Cena displayed that in a new interview with TalkSport promoting the Extreme Rules PPV and offering advice to Roman Reigns, who finds himself in a similar role.

Over the years, Cena has deflected anti-Cena sentiment by not addressing the root issues that lead to fans booing him at live events. In the interview with TalkSport, Cena offered a new positive take that he believes there is "respect" within the boos.

“Over the 13 years I’ve been here in WWE, I get more obscure chants than anyone else," Cena said. "But the fans know I love this, they know I show up all the time for all the events, they know I put my life on the line, they know I pour my heart out and although they chant I think there is - or I’d like to hope there is, anyway - that underlying respect there."

Cena's advice for Reigns: "Just be yourself because at this point if you try to change who you are to cater to the audience, especially the audience that is chanting, they will eat you alive... He will be fine as long as he remains true to who he is. If Roman tries to change who he is or tries to redefine himself that authenticity will be gone so he just needs to stay the course and keep doing well.”

Also in the interview, Cena hinted at potential surprises with the U.S. Title Open Challenge that he started after winning the United States Title at WrestleMania.

"I say keep your eyes on the U.S. Open challenge because you don’t know what you’re going to see next," Cena said.

"I really think the WWE is filled with an enormous amount of talent. The complaint from the WWE Universe - and I listen - is they want new superstars to be given a chance. So I’ll open it up. I’ll give everyone a chance," Cena added, trying to be on the same page with the same fans who boo him.
