Former WWE Superstar JTG recently sat down with Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda and discussed a variety of topics from his career as a professional wrestler. JTG also opened up on Cryme Tyme's short-lived stint with WWE megastar John Cena, and stated that he had no idea when Cryme Tyme was going to be paired with him, and that it was a week-by-week thing.

"It was a week-by-week thing, I didn't even know when we were gonna be paired with him. I don't even know when it ended, it was just kinda like,"No John this week? Okay. No John this week either? He came back? Huh, okay. Alright guess we are not together no more."

John Cena and Cryme Tyme formed "Cryme Tyme Cenation" in 2008
John Cena aligned with Cryme Tyme back in 2008, when he was feuding with his arch-rival JBL. JTG and Shad Gaspard helped Cena in his match against JBL, and the trio later vandalized JBL's limousine on an episode of RAW. Cena announced at a house show soon after that the trio had created a faction named "Cryme Tyme Cenation".
The stable didn't last for long and WWE soon stopped acknowledging it on TV. Cryme Tyme was one of the most popular tag teams in WWE during their stint, but never managed to win the Tag Team belts.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
