Slater revealed in a Wrestling Shoot Interviews discussion that while he personally preferred to work collaboratively with his fellow wrestlers, Cena would not hesitate to assert himself and prioritize his character’s reputation, even if it meant “stepping on other people’s toes.”
“Okay, Cena was always cool with me. He was. Like, I don’t have a bad thing to say about John. But the one thing I know about John Cena is that he is all about John Cena. You know what I mean?

Let’s spread it out a little bit, man. I can help you; you can help me, this and that. But you can honestly say, like, with John, it’s like, I’m doing this, this is what I’ve got to do, you know, ‘I’m sorry if I step on your toes
