During Wednesday’s edition of WWE’s “The Bump”, WWE Superstar Austin Theory commented on the impact John Cena has had on his career, who he’d like to work against in the future, and more. You can check out some highlights from the show below:
On competing against veterans like Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy: “I look around, and I’m like, ‘I guess that’s the guy that I have to take out. Of course, the energy is up and exciting. But it’s like, wow, I get to show Jeff Hardy how good I am. I get to show Rey Mysterio that I’m the future, and that’s what I do.”
On meeting John Cena backstage: “Cena is the one who got me into all of this. [He’s] always motivating me to push through. John Cena was always that motivation. Yeah, not being signed to the WWE and having the biggest star just post my photo…that was insane to me.”
On who he’d like to face: “I know I definitely want to step in the ring with Roman Reigns; one day. I wouldn’t say right now because I’m busy right now. What would be really good is getting a selfie with Roman, obviously laid out flat. I’d say John Cena is the ultimate goal.”
