John Cena breaks character with Michael Cole at the SummerSlam Kick Off
John Cena made an appearance at the SummerSlam New Jersey Kick Off show. During his appearance, Cena broke character while interacting with legendary commentator Michael Cole. He acknowledged how Cole has been stuck in the middle of maintaining his on screen persona and being a human being.
During the event, Cena was not giving direct answers to the questions put out by Michael Cole and Sam Roberts. After Cole wished Cena good luck for his match against Punk, Cena broke character and told Cole how much he loves him.
"I appreciate that, and I take that as a compliment from a friend that I've known for decades. I love you, man. I love you. Yeah, you didn't expect that to come out right here... I don't think I'm ready to mend my relationship with the WWE audience, but I know you've been saying some nasty things about me on TV, and I can say, I forgive you, man, and I love you, and I got love in my heart for you, so I appreciate that," Cena said.
