In a recent appearance on the “WrestleTalk” podcast, AEW American Champion MJF discussed idolizing John Cena in his formative years.
Cena will embark on his farewell tour starting in January 2025. He will work 36 dates before hanging up his boots in December.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On John Cena: “John Cena was a fathead on my wall when he was rapping and then he stopped the rapping and he started being very nice and I didn’t care for it … I’m not one to defend, first of all, my good friend John. I don’t know if you’ve seen it but he puts me over all the time in interviews, as he should I’m a generational talent. Generational talents know generational talents when they see one.”
On John Cena defending himself against Wade Barrett: Wade was constantly attacking him with multiple people which again is something your guys do. You never try to have a fight one-on-one, your friends always drunkenly jump in, right, so I feel John was just defending himself and his country in that moment.”
