"I just wanted to do something nice for my guy. I didn’t even show Alicia until I handed her the paper. You don’t get those moments unless you get the s*** beat up. I wanted to do something special. [But] I went about it the wrong way. I went into business for myself," Cena revealed on Chris Van Vliet's podcast.

The 47-year-old later added that he should have taken permission from the creative unit for his introductory message to Styles. Cena revealed that he hence apologized to the members of the creative team for putting them in a tough situation.

"The people running the show felt surprised," - John Cena

"I should have gotten permission to do that, and I would have gotten permission to do that. But I told no one about it, because I wanted to do something special. And in doing so, the people running the show felt surprised, and that’s not a position I ever want to put them in because they award me such creative liberty," Cena added.

"The first thing I did was thank AJ, the second thing I did was pull a few creative individuals aside and say, ‘I’m sorry. That will never happen again. I know where I f***** up. I’m so sorry, and I went into business for myself. That’s not me," the star wrestler revealed.
