John Cena Talks Returning To His Roots On SmackDown, Impact Tapings Announced, Kofi Kingston Note

Kofi Kingston recently spoke to Do Savannah and noted that many people thought he was too small to be a wrestler when he started. You can check out the interview here with a quote below.

“I always said I would be a WWE Superstar, and they laughed at me. They looked at me and said I was too small. You have to be 6 feet, 8 inches, you have to be 275 pounds and you can’t be a WWE Superstar. Down the line, 15 to 20 years later, those same people are asking me for my autograph.”

John Cena is back on the blue brand for the first time a long time as he was drafted to WWE SmackDown last week.

This week John Cena was the guest for Michael Cole’s sit down interview and he talked about returning to his roots and more. You can check out the full interview below.
