John Cena had some nice things to say about a former champion in AEW.
At a time when Cena was very close to being fired by WWE, his freestyle rap skills managed to save his job and give birth to his Dr. of Thuganomics persona. Cutting insulting raps on opponents before the bell rang, the 16-time champion gained a large amount of fans as a result and this would be the catalyst to the first of his many championship victories.
Another wrestler who has also made a name for himself with his edgy entrance raps and freestyling is AEW’s Max Caster. The Acclaimed member finds new ways to insult his opponents each week and also saw his stock rise in the company thanks to his diss tracks. According to Caster, the Hollywood star is also a fan.
Appearing on Isiah Kassidy’s YouTube channel, Caster revealed that he received a text from Cena and was at first unsure if it was actually him. Eventually receiving confirmation that it was Cena, the former Tag Team Champion stated that if he ever needed anything from the Hollywood star he was only a message away:
“He texted me out of nowhere one time, and I had ask around, like, ‘Is this actually him?’ Because I thought it was someone playing a joke on me. But I think it was after I did this rap on Sonny Kiss, and I did, ‘Booty butt, booty butt.’ That clip kind of went around, and the next week, he starts texting me, ‘You’re doing a great job, awesome.’ He’s just very complimentary.
He’s hit me up a few times since, but it’s so strange having a line of communication to him. He goes, ‘If you ever need to ask me anything, let me know.’ I’m straight-up just afraid to text him. I very much appreciate him for offering that, but man, it’s a lot of pressure because you want to come with a good question.”
When Did John Cena Last Wrestle?
Now focused more on his TV and movie projects than he is on professional wrestling, Cena’s appearances on WWE programming have been on a part-time basis. However, still keeping his streak alive, John Cena recently competed in an impromptu match on WWE Raw.
