Big E Hails John Cena As 'Someone Who Has Looked Out For Me' In WWE
Big E has a lot of time for John Cena
Jul 30, 2021
Big E has heaped praise on WWE legend John Cena, revealing how he has contributed money to his Kick Starter 'Our Heroes Rock' and has always 'looked out for me' within the company.
Cena returned to WWE at Money In The Bank 2021, on the same show that Big E won the Men's Money In The Bank Briefcase.
The New Day member is delighted to see the 16-time World Champion back in the promotion, revealing how much Cena has looked out for him in WWE.
Speaking to Give Me Sport, Big E said: "He’s done a lot over the years to be helpful, to give me advice, or to offer me a place to train, and I appreciate that. He contributes to our Kick Starter for ‘Our Heroes Rock’, contributed a lot of money to it, so I always appreciate that he’s someone who has looked out for me."
Speaking about Cena's return at Money In The Bank a couple of weeks ago, he added: "I didn’t know that he was coming out. I was like 30 seconds late, I missed the very beginning, so I went back and watched that pop, and I stopped being a wrestler, a performer, a fellow WWE Superstar, and I just became a fan. I just kept watching that over and over again, because that’s one of the loudest and best pops I’ve heard since I’ve been signed here, that’s an all-timer. That’s an incredible pop.
"It’s cool to see that buzz again. I can compartmentalize enough to not always, I can see someone do well and shine without being envious and like ‘that’s my spot’ or ‘that’s where I should be’. I can take a step back and say ‘man, that’s just a really cool moment. I think what makes it cooler too, that it’s not just Cena coming back and standing in the ring to cut a promo and go away, but Roman has been on such a tear right now and he’s had such an incredible run. To see what feels like two titans, like is this going to be a passing of the torch moment, or is this going to be a ‘no kid it’s not your time moment’? I think that’s the interesting part, and I’m just really looking forward to their promo stuff, man.
"I vividly remember Cena saying ‘hey, the reason I’m still here is because you won’t do your job, you can’t do your job’. The whole thing about ‘hey, you know how to cut a promo?’ Those are fighting words in a very very real way. I’m just intrigued to see them go back-and-forth, I almost wish we had a little more time with their build-up just to see. Those two are going to do something pretty cool I think."
