John Cena has high praise for two WWE Superstars who currently compete on RAW.
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena was a recent guest on The Pat McAfee Show. When asked about the action he witnessed over the weekend at WrestleMania 41, Cena sought to praise newly crowned Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio and Logan Paul.
“Dom Mysterio is born for this, period,” John Cena said. “And I got to work with him very early in his career. And I’ve had the chance to work with experienced talent, but I’ve also had the chance to work with a lot of new talent. You can tell right away. There’s always late arrivals. People can not get it and then figure it out. I’m a living example of that.
“But there’s also those people, like, I remember Randy Orton just making everything look so easy. Dom just makes everything effortless, and he doesn’t crack under pressure. And any pool we’ve dropped him in, he has not only tread water, he’s swimming laps around everybody else.
“Dom Mysterio, we ain’t even close to what that kid’s capable of. He’s incredible, and he’s going to be incredible for the next 20 years, or as long as he wants to be in this business. He will be, and I love his dad like he’s another one. There’s a close connection. I love that dude. He will be the most famous Mysterio in professional wrestling.”
Shifting his attention to Paul, Cena praised his athletic ability and believes he shouldn’t be penalized because he got into the industry late.
“Logan Paul’s a stud,” John Cena said. “I texted him right away after his match. I’m like, dude, you are innovative. From his entrance to holding a drone to thinking on another level of like I’m gonna swing big and try something different. I thought that was dope.
“And then his performance, he’s doing stuff that I couldn’t do at peak physical condition. So, regardless of if you like him or you hate him, he’s doing athletic moves that are better or as good as any of the wrestlers out there, any of the trained wrestlers.
“And here’s what I like most about Logan Paul, he doesn’t give two shits if y’all like him or not. He does it as himself, and he’s okay. This dude is a stud. There’s gonna come a time when y’all wake up to Logan Paul.
“This dude, he got here late. That shouldn’t be a penalty for him. He is a WWE Superstar. He belongs in that ring with everybody else, and I know he’s always going to be himself, but whether you boo him or not, you are going to pay to see that kid, because he is unreal.”
