WWE legend John Cena has a big fan in AEW’s MJF, who recently expressed his love for Cena. MJF previously tried out for WWE’s Tough Enough reality show back in 2015. He was also one of the security guards for an NXT show, where he was pushed aside by then NXT Champion, Samoa Joe.
In his recent appearance on Freddie Prinze Jr.’s podcast Wrestling with Freddie, MJF spoke about how he has already achieved greatness in pro wrestling. He also spoke about how much he loves John Cena and that he got along with him when they met once.
“Here’s the deal, Freddie, and not enough people talk about it: I feel like if I died today I’ve already had one of the greatest runs in the history of the business. I’ve had some of the most memorable feuds and monumental moments in such a short period of time, and I’m only 25. I think it’s hard for people to wrap their brain around that.” said MJF.
“And the thing is, Roddy Piper – one of my all-time favorites outside of John Cena. Love John Cena to death. You know John? (MJF asks Freddie Prinze Jr.) But the thing you have to understand is that’s the price of greatness. You’re not always going to get along with people, that’s why me and John got along so well the one time I met up with him when I did extra work,” he further said.
He tells no lies and this promo was as real as it gets from a real one. Thanks Max. I’m grateful. 🥲🖤 #AEWDynamite #AEW #MJF #CMPunk pic.twitter.com/jLDmEvhlnu
