John Cena gives great date-night advice: 'Put your f'n phone at home'
John Cena has embarked on the last few months of his career.
In that time, he won the Elimination Chamber, aligned himself with The Rock and defeated Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Cena opened up about his personal life and the time he spends outside the ring with his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh.
"Honestly it could be so simple," Cena told Us Weekly at Amazon Upfronts. "Put your f'n phone at home. Not in your pocket, I don't even bring it with me. You only need one person to dial 911, so only one phone, that way we're both present. And when you're there, you're there.
"If your mind is scattered, and you're not ready yet, take like a 5-minute (break), tell the person you're with like 'man I don't know if I'm in the headspace to be here', but when you're there, you're there."
Cena and Shariatzadeh have been married since 2020. The two began dating after Cena and the women's pro wrestler known as Nikki Bella separated.
Cena has been back in the WWE fold since the start of the year. He appeared in the Royal Rumble and finished as runner-up to Jey Uso. He won the men's Elimination Chamber match to earn a title shot against Rhodes and surprisingly turned heel to become the antagonist nobody saw coming.
Recently, Cena defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE title at Backlash.

CM Punk Reacts To R-Truth Chants After WWE RAW
CM Punk hilariously responds to the R-Truth chants following WWE RAW. WWE RAW took place at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the fans made their voices heard from start to finish. Throughout the show, they chanted 'We Want Truth' to show support for R-Truth after his recent release over the weekend. Advertisement The chants even broke out during the main event, where CM Punk faced AJ Styles and El Grande Americano in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. El Grande Americano scored a shocking victory over both Punk and Styles after Seth Rollins and his new faction interfered. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn ran down to help Punk, but Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed laid all of them out, leaving them down in the ring as WWE RAW went off the air. After WWE RAW went off the air, CM Punk took a microphone and responded to the chants. Punk, in a lighthearted manner, told the fans, 'How dare you sing someone's name when they're not here?' which also drew laughter from the fans.
