On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” John Cena revealed how LA Knight’s journey reminds him of his own and praised the former Impact Wrestling star for his accomplishments thus far.
Cena and Knight will team up against The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa) this Saturday at WWE Fastlane 2023.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On LA Knight’s rise: “It felt great, only because it reminds me of when I started to gain a little bit of notoriety and relevance in WWE. LA Knight and my story runs a little bit parallel. He kind of just refused to give up … and has done it his own way, even in a lot of times being an underdog and being forgotten by the people in the bowels of the arena, but not forgotten by the people in the arena cheering him on.”
On what LA Knight has accomplished: “And I think what he’s done is incredible. We work so hard to get where we’re at. And this is a job that shouldn’t exist. I sit in a director’s type chair in wristbands, a t-shirt, and a ball cap. This shouldn’t be a thing. So when you get a level of consistency and you get to a certain level of relevancy, you don’t want it to ever go away. And I totally respect it.”
