Randy Orton and John Cena were arch-rivals back in the day

Cena vs Orton was the biggest rivalry of the PG Era. The two wrestlers were the most popular stars in WWE back then. Most of their encounters were contested for the coveted WWE Championship.

In a chat with Corey Graves on After The Bell, Orton once heaped big praise on Cena:

"Triple H and Ric Flair, for obvious reasons are at the top of that list. Shawn Michaels gave me a very hard time coming in. I don't think he liked me much. After about five years, things kind of changed and I ended up learning a lot from him. Undertaker. Mysterio. I learned so much with Rey. And John Cena. God, I hate saying it, but I learned a lot from that motherf**ker. I really did. Talk about slowing down and breathing and listening to the people. He was a master. He was a fu*king ninja at listening to the crowd," said Orton. [H/T Fightful]

Cena has nothing but admiration and respect for Orton. He will certainly be watching as Orton makes his huge WWE return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023.
