WWE legend John Cena is nearing the top of his profession, as his retirement tour is winding up. For this reason, many fans have begun to share emotional stories about Cena and the impact of his profession has been made clearer with every week, but “The Champ” did greater than just encourage his fans, as he also touched the hearts of his fellow pro wrestlers.
During an appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Natalya explained how respectful it’s for an additional pro wrestler to take the time to observe other people’s matches, and claimed that Cena at all times made sure to present this sign of respect to those around him. “The primary match can be starting, and … whatever match he wasn’t in, he’d be watching the show,” she said. “And the person would come back, and John would talk with them.” She then expressed that Cena would give his time and energy to the talent, which Natalya explained is the most dear thing you possibly can give anyone.
While Cena’s role in “Total Divas” is usually referenced in memes online, Natalya only has good things to say about his involvement in the truth show. “John desired to help us girls make that show successful, to the purpose where like, he even put himself on the market.” she claimed. “He was an enormous a part of that show’s success. … When [Tyson Kidd] got injured, John – one thing that John did that was amazing for us and TJ’s morale, is – after TJ got out of the hospital – John took us out for dinner. … He made TJ feel seen and heard and like he wasn’t forgotten.”
Natalya believes that John Cena brought positivity to WWE after one in every of its darkest chapters
Outside of her personal experiences with Cena, Natalya also looked back at when he quickly rose to the highest in WWE, noting that it was just after the Benoit tragedy. She explained that Cena not only did great things for WWE, but brought positivity to the promotion and the industry right after it experienced one in every of its worst moments. “It isn’t something that we speak about often, and I do not – personally, due to how tragic all of it was, since it’s a really hard topic, but John really helped WWE in such an enormous way,” she recalled. “He’s just anyone that I’m so proud to have worked with him through the years. I’m so proud to have been on tours with John, I’m so proud to have known him as a friend.”
Although Cena is on the brink of wrap up his in-ring profession, Natalya doesn’t imagine he’ll disappear from the industry. “WWE and wrestling basically – all world wide – and I have been around every walk of life on this industry; it’s like Hotel California: you possibly can take a look at anytime you would like, but you possibly can never leave it,” Natalya expressed, adding that despite how Cena may be gearing up for retirement, he won’t ever truly have the ability to separate himself from the professional wrestling industry. “He’s embedded in it. He’s at all times going to be a giant a part of it, he’s very special to it,” she added.
