Even “The Queen” recognizes how important John Cena is to WWE.
Reigning RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair recently spoke with DAZN’s Steve Muehlhausen about being compared to John Cena and explained how despite knowing there’ll never be another Cena, it doesn’t mean she hasn’t taken inspiration from his career.
“First, I want to say there will never be another John Cena. He has meant that much to the industry. But I do know when I first started, and to this day, that is who I want to mold myself after and be like. Unfortunately, I am a bad guy on camera, and Cena is the ultimate good guy. But I never lose that density or passion of wanting to embody WWE, wanting to do as much on the outside, for instance, media and the Special Olympics. There’s so many community events that we take part in. I hope to be mentioned in the same sentence as him. He’s John Cena. I’m a talent in the same company as him. Not even a peer but as a co-worker, and I still say it like that. He’s John Cena.
“Yes, I want to be the female John Cena. And if people say that, then I’m going to continue, even if I don’t feel like I’ve gotten there yet, but I’m going to continue to work as hard and feel that I want to be that way with everything I do.”
Charlotte Flair recently appeared on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette and spoke about her trip to Mexico to support her fiancé, Andrade, in his match at TripleMania last month.
