AEW star Max Caster recently revealed that John Cena reached out to him personally before praising the former in a recent interview.
A few weeks ago, the 16-time WWE Champion stated that he was very impressed with Caster's raps and he was a "gifted" performer. For those unaware, Cena earlier had a gimmick similar to Max Caster, called Dr.Thuganomics.
Appearing in a virtual signing with Golden Ring Collectibles, The Acclaimed member finally broke silence regarding Cena's praises. Caster disclosed that the WWE legend had been very nice to him and personally reached out before talking about him in the interview.
Furthermore, the AEW star added that he never wanted to be better than Cena in rapping but didn't want people to say he was ripping off the latter's gimmick.
"John has been very, very nice to me and when he didn’t need to. He reached out and he made that public so I’m allowed to say it now. So he reached out and then he said things publicly about me in Forbes and that means a lot to me. So, it’s never been about beating him in a rap battle. It’s about trying to get past the point of people saying I’m a Thuganomics rip-off.” (H/T - POST Wrestling)

MJF also recently praised John Cena
It's no secret that Cena is one of the most revered figures in the pro wrestling business, with his influence across promotions. MJF is one among the many performers who admire the Cenation Leader.
Last month, The Pinnacle leader stated that he loved "John Cena to death" and recalled his wonderful experience upon meeting him.
"And the thing is, Roddy Piper - one of my all-time favorites outside of John Cena. Love John Cena to death. You know John? [MJF asks Freddie Prinze Jr.] But the thing you have to understand is that's the price of greatness. You're not always going to get along with people, that's why me and John got along so well the one time I met up with him when I did extra work," said MJF.
Cena was last seen in the WWE ring at SummerSlam 2021, where he failed to win the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns.
