"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.
