NEW DELHI: WWE icon John Cena recently shed light on the intense verbal exchange he had with rising star Austin Theory in the lead-up to their showdown at WrestleMania 39. The 16-time World Champion, known as The Cenation Leader, delved into the reasons behind his blistering promo against Theory, providing insights into the dynamic between the two superstars.
Leading up to last year's WrestleMania, Austin Theory persistently called out John Cena, aiming to secure a United States Championship match at the grandest stage of them all. The challenge was eventually accepted by Cena on the March 6, 2023, episode of Monday Night RAW. However, it was the verbal sparring that took center stage, with Cena delivering a scathing promo, leaving Theory reeling before their anticipated clash at WrestleMania 39.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, John Cena opened up about his approach to the promo battle with Theory, revealing the underlying motivation for his verbal onslaught. Cena expressed his belief in Theory's immense potential and the desire to see him tap into that potential sooner rather than later.
"I was really close to the chest with Austin Theory when we were able to go back and forth verbally. I see so much potential in him, and I wanna shake him and be like, 'You're gonna learn all this stuff. I just wish you would learn it today'," Cena explained.
Cena's candid revelation provides a glimpse into the mentorship and guidance he aims to impart to the next generation of WWE superstars. The veteran's desire to push Theory to his full potential highlights the camaraderie that exists within the WWE locker room, where experienced stars like Cena play a crucial role in shaping the future of the industry.
