John Cena has massive respect for Austin Theory in real life
Austin Theory grew up idolizing John Cena. He was a big Cena fan while growing up and defeating Cena at WrestleMania 39 must have been a surreal experience for him. Last year, Theory took a shot at Cena and the WWE legend had a wholesome response to the same:
"Everyone understands that you have far more talent, strength, and gifts than I ever had. Don’t apologize for that. Ever. An apology should come 20 years from now if you fail to provide the EFFORT needed to turn your potential into your legacy. I hope that day never comes. 🥃"

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.
