Former AEW World Champion believes this wrestler-turned-actor is better than both John Cena and The Rock.
Long done with full-time wrestling, both John Cena and The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson, entered Hollywood after earning their name in the pro-wrestling industry. Despite several films and awards/nominations, they have failed to impress former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho.
With a few movies to his name as well, most notably Terrifier 3, he recently named his favorite wrestler-turned-actor. Speaking on The Maggie and Perloff Show, Jericho selected Dave Bautista over Cena, and Johnson.
Right now, there are a lot of guys making some pretty big films and movies between Dwayne Johnson and John Cena, but I think Dave Bautista has done a great job of picking a variety and diverse collection of roles. I would say Dave is probably my favorite out of all of them.”

Dave Bautista aka Batista had successfully transitioned into an acting career, after successful stints in pro-wrestling and MMA. After several high-profile gigs in big production movies, including ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, ‘Avengers’ and ‘Dune’, the former WWE Champion is now arguably one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
Former WWE Star Recalls Drunk Experience With John Cena
In a recent interview with Metro UK, former WWE star Mason Ryan opened up on a drunken memory he had with Cena, after his main roster debut in 2012.
I was probably on an adrenaline high, cloud nine, my feet didn’t touch the floor. I just threw my clothes quickly after showering and left my bags there because I just thought I’m just going to see John, and he’s going to say congratulations, or welcome to the team, or something like that.
After laying Cena in the ring, Ryan was joined by CM Punk backstage, when Cena’s driver invited him to the veteran’s private bus.
So I hop on the bus and he says, “Hey, take a seat”. And then he started bringing out some drinks. I’m thinking, “Okay, we’re going to have a beer or two. Then, after an hour, he starts bringing out the whiskey. And then he starts bringing out the moonshine.”
