The WWE has witnessed several relationships change their dynamics on the show itself. However, each time it’s worth watching the circumstances, it leads to. Recently, we have seen one such interesting turnaround of events. When a 25-year-old wrestler said he was better than his childhood hero, John Cena. 

The video of him boasting and insulting a WWE champion made the fans react aggressively. The derogatory statement by Austin Theory for his own childhood hero John Cena has taken aback the Boston crowd.

Theory has been pretty vocal about his wish to fight with the 16-time world champion. But, that being said, he has also mentioned John Cena as his role model in life. Further, he also made him his escape route during his troubled childhood.

Since Austin Theory was eight years old; he has been watching Cena and admired him for his personality. After meeting the wrestling legend one-on-one, he also appreciated his advice. 

It’s surprising to see the admiration turn into a competition. However, he must have taken plenty of lessons by following his idol in wrestling. He can put all of those into action and try to reach a mark like that of John Cena.
