The worlds of WWE and the NFL go hand-in-hand. Multiple WWE superstars have played in the NFL before making a switch to the professional wrestling circuit. And plenty of NFL stars have made cameos in the longest-running weekly episodic program in the U.S as well.
And just like in the NFL the GOAT conversation is one that keeps cropping up in the WWE as well. While Tom Brady is one name that regularly features in the conversation of being the greatest NFL player of all time, WWE superstar John Cena has the same pleasure when it comes to the WWE.
While both athletes have now been around for years, their influence over their respective sports is unparalleled. But apart from their greatness, the two athletes seem to have something else in common.

“So I follow him just because it’s like we’re both stalking each other. At least that’s the story I tell myself,” Cena jokingly added.
