John Cena made his return to WWE last month at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, and he’s currently set for a big match with Roman Reigns at the SummerSlam pay-per-view on Saturday night. Over the course of his career John Cena has faced many opponents, and he’s faced off against Alberto Del Rio on numerous occasions.
Alberto and John Cena clashed in championship matches more than a few times, and during a recent interview with Pro Wrestling Defined Alberto praised Big Match John for helping him along the way.
“First of all, thank you, John. Thank you! I learned so much from you. I have been saying this for years and I’m going to continue saying this for more years to come. John Cena doesn’t get the credit that he deserves from the fans. He is a great wrestler. A real wrestler. You don’t even talk to him before the match. Like, you just go there, and he knows. He was the one teaching me.
I’ve never said this to the fans, but they always ask me, ‘Why I’m so good building the matches and like being the architect to put those matches together or how to take the fans on that rollercoaster of emotions. Of course, there were many people and wrestlers that helped me on the way, but John Cena was the one. Like, I became a better wrestler the day I wrestled John Cena. When we started that first feud, at the end of it, I was a better wrestler just because I worked with John Cena.”
Cena will challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam on Saturday, August 21. Stay tuned for updates.
