Santino Marella Says He Wanted To Make John Cena Break Character When They Worked Together

Santino Marella’s comedy antics in WWE are still popular with fans, even though he’s with Impact Wrestling now. He created a lot of memories in the ring, and he also had interactions with John Cena that he will never forget.

While speaking with Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Santino Marella explained why he enjoyed making Cena crack up live on television. This turned into a goal of his, because the experience was so enjoyable.

“Oh, that’s a good question. Probably John Cena. When it comes from John Chainer. It’s funny because people come up to me like signings or conventions, and they’re like, you know, we can’t call them John Cena for like, the last 15 years. We call him John Chainer. And like, it’s changed the way a lot of people speak to, but it was just so sudden, like the pop was just kind of like, just caught himself, but it actually became a goal of mine to try and pop everybody.”
