Cena recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet, where he revealed that Shay Shariatzadeh, whom he married back in 2020 has been at every WWE show since the Summer of Cena, and she has had an important role backstage.

He noted that the two of them sit together in a room backstage and go through a lot of their stuff, and that she even wrote one of the jokes in Randy Orton's recent promo.

“She’s been backstage with me, not backstage in catering. We share the same room. We talk, we solve all the world’s problems in there. She writes promos, she gives ideas. “She wrote the lazy boy joke for Randy’s promo, She gives a perspective… she’s not a super fan, but she’s not ignorant.”

He went on to note that she sits at ringside and has seen some of the matches come together, and now she's able to see how it works and how to add her own ideas to this.

John Cena claimed that he didn't want to let his wife into WWE to begin with

John Cena told Chris Van Vliet that at first he wasn't ready to open up his wrestling life to his wife because he still had that fear of getting fired, but he has now allowed her to be part of all aspects of his life inside and outside of the ring, and he's so glad he has.

It seems that Shay has been able to hand Cena promo ideas and give him a perspective throughout his retirement tour, which has given him a new edge when compared to his original WWE run.
