John Cena’s return to SmackDown Live included an unexpected confrontation from Becky Lynch. Then the two of them were able to tag with each other to take on Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega.

After SmackDown Live was over, John Cena was interviewed backstage about his New Year’s Day tag team partner. He had nothing but great things to say about Lynch. For that matter, The Man really seemed to enjoy having Cena on the show too.

“She believes she’s The Man. Especially being in there with her tonight, it’s not a character. It is Becky Lynch and that is something I can relate to. When I stand tall in a WWE ring people know they get the best of me.”

Cena said that as he looked into Becky Lynch’s eyes when she said she is The Man, he knew that she meant it. He spoke about how rare this is and hopes that all other WWE Superstars regardless of gender are paying attention to Lynch. She reminds him of a young Dr Of Thuganomics as well.

“You gotta announce your presence with authority. That’s not the way I do things sometimes, but that’s the way a young John Cena would have done it for sure. That’s kinda why with all that stuff that happened out there you know I thought I was doing good and then I was thrown out of the ring by Becky and she ended up getting the win. I would have done the same thing.”

Cena said he knows what it is like to be overlooked and to be noticed makes you feel like Superman. He said it’s good to see someone step up and he was honored to be on The Man’s team.

He wouldn’t say that Lynch has Ruthless Aggression because that’s an out of date term, but Cena said “it’s yours to lose” to her in the ring. The lightning is in the bottle and hopefully, she’ll be able to harness more of the amazing momentum she attained in 2018.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
