WWE Legend John Cena Heavily Praised By AEW’s Top Champion

WWE Legend John Cena is done with in-ring wrestling. He worked his Farewell Tour in 2025 and has hung up his boots for good. However, he remains a part of the Stamford-based promotion with an ambassador’s contract.

While WWE and other promotions, especially AEW, are staunch competitors, the pro-wrestlers in the companies know how to appreciate one another.

Recently, MJF praised John Cena.

The AEW Champion revealed that John Cena is an inspiration

Recently, the AEW pro-wrestler had an interview with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT. He revealed that he met Never Seen 17 at the premiere of Iron Claw, and revealed that he is a god amongst men.

He’s a god amongst men. I have now gotten to on two red carpets, I’ve gotten to chat him up and pick his brain and like I’ll never forget I’m standing there, I see him enter the room and I walked upto him. I shook his hand and I said, “I just want you to know you were a big inspiration for me.”
