John Cena is featured in a new video released via WWE’s YouTube channel on Wednesday.
In the video, “The Greatest Of All-Time” looks back at some of his most legendary WWE matches of all-time. Among them was his WWE Extreme Rules showdown against Brock Lesnar.
“Every one of those [elbows] are pretty decent hits [laughs],” Cena said of the shots Lesnar delivered as soon as the match began. “Brock is one of a kind, he truly is. I love watching him. I always tell you that I watch the people. It’s really difficult to ignore Brock. You’re in a fight for your life, but he’s also the most giving, gracious performer. He gives it all, and there’s no way for you to question his legitimacy. There’s a ringside sign that says “legitimacy has returned.’ That says it all when it comes to him. I love Brock.”
Cena continued, “We a performer, he’s extremely underrated, even though he’s in that conversation of the greatest of all time. I love him as a human being. He is wholeheartedly himself, and he shoots you straight. At least you know where you stand with him at all times, and I really admire that about him. He’s been wonderful to me over the years. Another person that we kind of matriculated together, and we both have our different paths to success, and we’re both rooting for each other constantly.”
