Recently, while speaking with Busted Open Radio, WWE veteran Christian opened up on a conversation that he once had with John Cena. The duo was watching Randy Orton perform in the ring against an unnamed wrestler, on a monitor backstage. This was back in 2011 when Christian was feuding with Orton over the World Heavyweight title. After the match, Christian told John Cena how Orton doesn't realize how good he is. Cena responded to Christian, and said, "He has no clue."

John Cena and Randy Orton aren't strangers in the least. Both rose to prominence at around the same time, on different brands. After John Cena was drafted to RAW in 2005, he had several feuds with Orton over the next few years, over the WWE title. Cena and Orton's rivalry is dubbed by many as their generation's Rock vs. Austin. The duo is friends in real life, and both men have praised each other on multiple occasions in the past. Orton is still a mainstay in WWE and is all set to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE title at Hell in a Cell.
