Austin Theory On John Cena’s Influence On His Career, Potential Dream Matches

Austin Theory discussed how much impact John Cena has had on his career, his potential dream matches and more on this week’s The Bump. You can check out some highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:

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.”
