John Cena later asked WWE superstars to be more creative and use their imagination as they currently don’t have the crowd by their side. He said when he or other superstars used to work, they used to listen to the audience and would try to give them what they want. However, now, the superstars have to deliver incredible performance and hope fans would like it.
“You just have to use your imagination. In this realm, imagination is king. Action will not drive the product forward. It has to be imaginative, and it has to be well-presented,” John Cena added.
