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

#1 Roman Reigns

Reigns and John Cena

The Big Dog is hands down one of the biggest Superstars of this generation. He is a former Universal Champion and has headlined four consecutive WrestleMania events. Additionally, Reigns has beaten John Cena in the middle of the ring. He had tons of praise for Cena while talking about the WWE veteran on After The Bell, and revealed what Cena taught him about staying on top in WWE.

You just have to go out the next night and kill it and continue to kill it. That’s all that matters – just bust your a** and work hard. The cream always rises to the top and that’s something Cena told me a long time ago.

Reigns talks about Cena's influence on him:

John Cena and Reigns met at WWE No Mercy 2017 in a match that could have easily headlined a WrestleMania. Reigns had defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 earlier that year. The intense back and forth ended with Reigns coming out on top, in a "passing of the torch" moment.
