John Cena and Brock Lesnar

John Cena has heaped praise on Brock Lesnar and named him as the best in-ring performer of all time in WWE. The 16-time champion, who is being touted for a return at WrestleMania 36, has said that the current WWE champion's display at the Royal Rumble showed all his qualities.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Cena said:

“And I can say with the utmost sincerity that I believe Brock Lesnar is best in-ring performer that I've seen and I know it's an opinion, and if you want a cool quote, here it is: I think he's the best in-ring performer of all time. I thought his performance at the Rumble was a clinic on how to establish yourself, how to establish those around you, establish the championship, establish the importance of one event.”

While both WWE Legends are expected to be at WrestleMania, Lesnar will be facing Drew McIntyre and not Cena. There are no confirmed reports if Cena will be involved in any match at all.
