Even though it’s been quite some time since John Cena has been in the ring, it looks like his legacy still lives on. As a matter of fact, The Miz recently went on the record to explain how John taught him how to become a main event star. In other words, he was sharing his wisdom and knowledge with him behind the scenes even though the two were considered rivals back when they were the main attraction for WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night Raw. Here’s what you need to know.
As many fans know, Michael Gregory Mizanin is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name The Miz. Mizanin first gained fame as a reality television participant. Back in April, Miz was drafted to Raw as part of the WWE Superstar Shake-Up. Upon his acquisition, he attacked Vince McMahon with a steel chair, because why wouldn’t he, right?
The Miz Credits John Cena For His Success
And while The Miz’s professional career is definitely hotter than it ever was before, he is giving credit where credit is due. The Miz recently said that he wouldn’t be the headlining wrestler he is today if it weren’t for John Cena. He said:
“Who have I learned the most from, I would say John Cena… being in the ring with John Cena taught me how to become a main event caliber Superstar.”
Talk about high praise, right? Even though The Miz spent most of his professional life as a “heel,” he is currently playing the role of baby face on Raw. Unfortunately for him, he recently lost a King of the Ring match to Baron Corbin on the last episode of Raw. Oh well. That only means he will have to work a little harder the next time he’s in the ring, which is definitely what his fans are hoping for. Maybe John Cena can give him a few tips before that happens?
