MJF Is Sad He’ll Never Be Able to Wrestle John Cena

MJF doesn’t feel bad about much, but he does say he’s sad that he’ll never be able to have a match with John Cena. The new AEW World Champion has long been complimentary about Cena, speaking about how he grew up a fan of the WWE star. Cena of course wrestled his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event earlier this month, ensuring that he and MJF will never get to face off.

MJF spoke with Brandon Walker for Mostly Sports on Saturday before he won the AEW World Title at Worlds End. He was asked about Cena, and you can see highlights below:

On Being Sad That He’ll Never Wrestle Cena:

“Yes, absolutely. I think that there is a different world where that match would have happened. Uh unfortunately, it’s not this one. I’ve had so many incredible run-ins with John where we’ve shot the s**t. He’s an incredible guy. He watches our product, he’s seen my stuff. He was very complimentary. Obviously, I’m super complimentary to him.

On Being a Fan Of Cena’s:

“I’ve said it before in other interviews, but before CM Punk, my favorite wrestler growing up as a kid was John Cena. He was a Fathead on my wall in my bedroom. So I’d wake up, salute the OG, and then get ready for school.”
