Popular AEW star believes John Cena's former girlfriend should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

John Cena has become synonymous with the wrestling industry. Despite his transition from WWE star to Hollywood icon, the 45-year-old continues to achieve new accolades each day.

During his tenure with World Wrestling Entertainment, the Cenation Leader wooed Mickie James. And the two were involved in a private, hushed relationship owing to the company's strict guidelines pertaining to talents dating each other.

Mickie James was crucial to the WWE women's division in the mid-2000s. She made her debut on the main roster as an obsessed Trish Stratus fan. AEW star Shawn Spears recently shared his thoughts on the current IMPACT star being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

The multi-time Women's Champion was associated with the Connecticut-based company from 2003 to 2010. During her initial run, she feuded with notable names including Trish Stratus and Lita. James then signed with IMPACT Wrestling before her second return in 2016.

Last year, Mickie James entered the Women's Royal Rumble match while she was the IMPACT Knockout Champion. She even donned the title around her waist as she made her entrance. Thus, hinting at the possibility of WWE crossover events with other promotions down the road.

Shawn Spears signed with AEW in 2019 and has worked with popular names on the promotion. A few months ago, he surprised the wrestling fraternity with his return to the Canadian edition of Dynamite.

The 41-year old star took to Twitter to showcase his agreement on James being included in the Hall of Fame:

"100%. Without question," tweeted Spears.
