John Cena’s First Move After Winning WWE Title at WrestleMania 41 Wasn’t About Himself

John Cena may have just claimed the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 41, but his immediate focus wasn’t on celebrating his historic victory. Instead, the wrestling icon made a surprising move — seeking out TNA World Champion Joe Hendry to give him some personal advice.

While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Hendry opened up about the moment that left him stunned. “So he came up to me, and there’s two camera crews. They’re filming this interaction. I’m like, I can’t believe the timing that this is happening. He’s just won the championship. I say, ‘John, congrats,’” Hendry said.

But instead of talking about his title win, Cena zeroed in on Hendry’s performance. “He didn’t even want to talk about the fact that he just became the greatest. He wanted to give me advice, that’s who John is, right? He just said to me, ‘I told you exactly what you needed to do at the Rumble. You’ve taken it on board. You’ve done it. You had a good performance at the Rumble. You were brilliant tonight.’ Then John walks off,” Hendry shared.

For Hendry, the moment was surreal. “I hope they release this footage one day, I turned to the camera and I go, can a day get any better than this?”

Cena’s words weren’t just a casual compliment. They carried weight, especially considering Hendry’s role as the TNA World Champion competing at WrestleMania. “Praise doesn’t come higher,” Hendry said, still in disbelief over Cena’s recognition.
