John Cena was the guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet today. They spoke about a number of topics and one of the topics was his favorite moment of his career with CM Punk.
Below is what Cena had to say about his favorite moment of his career with CM Punk:
“Man that moment with Punk in Saudi. That transcends wrestling dog. To see cultures bridged. To see genuine forgiveness. Like, I’m watching that pre-show balling. It’s a pre-show. Unfolding before our eyes is accountability and genuine forgiveness and like the bridging of cultural gaps. People who might not knows a lot about each other or understand each other. They’re getting along in harmony through this one thing that we dig. Wrestling.
Like, what a global conduit to peace, excitement, happiness. Tribute to the Troops has a strong place in my heart and certainly Make A Wish, but favorite moment? I’m just glad that I was his opponent so I could be attached to that moment. That pre-show, dude. Oh, man. That is what we do. He made that trip knowing it was going to be uneasy and knowing he was going to have to be accountable and just leaned in man. And like in a moment people were like, ‘Oh, I’m heard. Yes I’m ready to forgive.’ Astonishing. Astonishing.
And then to top it all off like I think we’ve bridged a gap here. And then for him to go out and smoke in the promo. Like drop heat in gimmick. It was beautiful. It was yo he’s the one that almost got me to break because in between one of his lines he said, ‘I miss you already.’ And man I almost lost it right in front of him. That’s one of the best moments I’ve ever been a part of.”
