5 WWE Superstars who have credited John Cena for their WWE success

#2 Seth Rollins

John Cena and Rollins

2019 was the year of Seth Rollins. Not only did he beat Brock Lesnar for the Universal title on two occasions, he also won the Royal Rumble match and put down several WWE Superstars during his stint as the top Champion on the RAW brand.

He was essentially the top guy on the WWE roster at the time, a spot that once belonged to John Cena. Rollins had a feud with John Cena back in 2015, and defeated him in a major match at SummerSlam in a "Winner takes all" match.

In an interview with Mid Day, Rollins revealed how Cena is his mentor and has helped him a great deal.

Also...John Cena...I mean he’s a known former rival...but I have learned a lot working with John. His experience and friendship have guided me over my 6 years...he’s become a mentor to me…when I got to know him and how hard he worked, he became someone I would go to immediately for advice. He taught me how to become a main event superstar and to value every match that I fought.

Rollins is currently the top heel on the RAW brand. He turned heel soon after Survivor Series 2019 and was recently seen brutally removing Rey Mysterio's eye out in their "Eye For An Eye" match at Extreme Rules.
