AEW World Champion MJF discussed various topics with Brandon Walker for Mostly Sports, including whether he feels sad about never getting to wrestle WWE legend and 17-time World Champion John Cena.
MJF said, “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 how Cena was his favorite wrestler growing up:
“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.”
