While speaking on the Z100 New York podcast with Superstar Crossover, Tony Khan revealed that he's never met Cena but has a lot of respect for him.

"John Cena's an absolutely legendary pro wrestler who came into the space and became a huge star very quickly on television, because he has so much charisma and he's one of the hardest working people, as far as I know, in pro wrestling.; I’ve never actually met John Cena and I have a ton of respect for him as a wrestler. He seems like a wonderful person. Everybody I know that's worked with John Cena has only the very, very best things to say about him. He's known for being the utmost professional,” he said.
