WWE superstars spend most weeks on the road. Several stars rent a car or take flights, while a few have their personal tour buses or jets. Recently, John Cena shared how he once rented a tour bus, further remembering his late driver. Moreover, he recalled an incident when the 45-year-old felt the chills of a Fast and Furious film, even before joining the billionaire franchise.

While having a chat with his Ricky Stanicky co-star, the WWE legend recalled his then-driver, Ronnie Bullington. Further, the Champ expressed how Bullington once drove his bus through a snowstorm in New York.

The Franchise Player appeared on the Whiskey Ginger podcast hosted by Ricky Stanicky co-star, Andrew Santino. He recalled how his late bus driver, Ronnie Bullington, once drove from Madison Square Garden to Albany, New York in 10 hours in snowy weather.

Cena said, “So many performers didn’t make the show. I remember Ronnie pitching the bus sideways like in Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. I mean like hold on and he would pitch a 48ft tour bus sideways across the streets of New York. All we had to do was keep moving forward because if we stopped (it’s done).”

He added, “We saw buses on the side, the New York buses that couldn’t make it but be got us to Albany in ten and a half hours. He got us to Albany in ten and a half hours, he pulled in slid the bus out, dropped the anchor, and was like, ‘I’m going to sleep, you guys. I made it we’re good.’”

While remembering Bullington, Cena called Bullington, the mentor of all drivers. WWE had a show in MSG on a Sunday and had RAW at Albany the next night. Unfortunately, very few people showed up to the event as it was heavily snowing.
