He said that he was once a fan of The Cenation Leader, but now they are rivals. He also told Cena that he would face him at the Royal Rumble or sometime in the future.
"Absolutely! John Cena, like I said, when I was a kid, super hero, you know what I mean, to all of us and it would be a dream come true and now, we're on the same level as far as we both work for the WWE, we're both on the main roster and now he's an enemy, now he's a threat, now he's the opposition. So, all that fandom goes completely out the window. 'John Cena, I can actually can see you and I will see you either tomorrow or one day in the future.'" [3:12 - 3:40]
