They spoke to John Cena for the article and he commented on starting out with WWE Studios action movies The Marine and 12 Rounds:

"Doing action wasn't a real good fit for me because it's the opposite of how I work. It was extremely choreographed and extremely scripted."

Cena also commented on his WWE future after being away to film FOX reality competition American Grit:

"I have a very good mutual understanding with my boss that I don't ever want to leave; I really like it in the ring. I try to pick opportunities that don't take me away from WWE for too long. I try to do opportunities that can really help expand our audience and bring new eyes to our product."

The Times also spoke to WWE Hall of Famer Edge, who admitted he misses wrestling but said acting has its perks:
