John Cena’s advice to Charlotte Flair hit deeper than expected.

John Cena is more than just a WWE legend; he’s a locker room leader whose words carry serious weight. Over the years, countless WWE Superstars have leaned on him for guidance, and it seems Charlotte Flair is no exception.

Charlotte Flair Reflects on Powerful Words From John Cena

The two were catching up, discussing their respective journeys in and out of the ring. Cena, who is currently on his retirement tour, shared a simple yet powerful piece of advice that stuck with Charlotte.

“Anyway, John and I were catching up,” Charlotte Flair wrote. “We talked a little about the journey he’s been on recently, with this current run and his retirement tour. And then we talked about the journey I’ve been on recently, with…………. everything.”

“And he gave me this amazing piece of advice — something that sounded kind of surface-level when I first heard it, but now I understand that it’s actually really deep. He said, ‘Don’t just learn to accept the stuff that’s happened to you. Learn to own what’s happened to you.’”

She went on to say that the message has been on her mind ever since. With everything she’s been through recently, Cena’s words have taken on new meaning.

“And I’ve been thinking about John’s advice a lot lately — especially as I’ve been reflecting on all the stuff that’s happened since my injury,” she added. [H/T The Players’ Tribune]

Charlotte Flair has certainly had her share of challenges. In December 2023, she suffered a devastating knee injury during a match with Asuka on SmackDown. The injury, a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus, sidelined her for over a year.

But in true Flair fashion, she fought her way back and made her long-awaited return at the 2025 Royal Rumble.
