Eric Andre discusses the stunt gone wrong with John Cena

During his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Eric Andre was shown a clip from his own show involving John Cena. The comedy segment featured a raging Cena throwing Andre through a metal shelf. As per The Lion King star, the stunt went wrong and resulted in him suffering a concussion.

Andre quickly clarified that John Cena wasn't at fault and he did exactly what he was supposed to do. He said:

“John Cena did the stunt right, but we prepped for the stunt wrong. And that metal shelf came over and clocked me in the head, and I got concussed...I went to the hospital immediately. I had like a Fred Flintstone, like Bugs Bunny [bruise] on the side of my head. And they did a CAT scan, and I haven’t been able to speak English since. I memorized this interview phonetically, actually.” (h/t: CSS)
