During Orton's chat with Steve Austin, the former revealed that he learned a lot from Cena throughout his career.

"I learned so much from him because I was in my head a lot. I worked with him early on but it wasn’t until midway through my couple of decades here that we really put in a couple of hundred matches with each other, live events and everything. I’ve never… ‘Hustle, Loyalty, Respect’… Dude, that hustle, that’s a real thing. I’ve never known anybody to ask as many questions and jump outside of his comfort zone and try all these things.”

Randy Orton added that John Cena helped him understand the importance of crowd interaction in WWE.
