Former WWE star compares Jey Uso to John Cena

Wrestling veteran Bobby Fish recently commented on Jey Uso winning the Royal Rumble and compared the 39-year-old to John Cena.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Fish stated that The Yeet Master is very popular with younger wrestling fans. The WWE veteran added that Uso could be this generation's Cena and noted that fans could be purchasing the veteran's merchandise for years to come.

"With Jey, I mean to me, he is this generation's Cena potentially. He is at least in the running for the guy to be that predecessor because he is over, huge with the young audience. And those are, you know if you look at it from a demographic standpoint, like those are the people that are gonna continue to buy merchandise and move the business into the next decade," he said.
