John Cena talks Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar and Cena’s rivalry goes back several years, since Lesnar made his return to the company following WrestleMania 28.
The pair have battled on big stages time and time again and while Lesnar would usually come out on top, their rivalry is one of two huge box office draws squaring off.
In a new YouTube video for WWE, John Cena discussed his most iconic rivalries in WWE.
“Every one of those [elbows] are pretty decent hits [laughs]. 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. 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.”
