Like Cody Rhodes, LA Knight Finally Gets ‘The John Cena Endorsement’ at Payback Despite Being Disrespectful to the 16-Time Champion

At this point in his career, John Cena is free to do anything. He doesn’t have to win another world title; he doesn’t have to be a grand slam champion; the man is bigger than most legends. Tonight, Cena even managed to achieve another position he’s never filled, being a host.

But after being a host and a referee for the fan-favorite, Cena even partook in bestowing his greatness on the fan-favorite LA Knight. Getting the rub from one of the all-time greats, a fact at this point that even WWE recognizes it, is a big victory in itself for Knight.

John Cena endorses LA Knight after his big win at WWE Payback

Being the host of WWE Payback, John Cena thought that he needed to take part in the PLE himself. So, he inserted himself in the feud between The Miz and LA Knight by making himself the referee.

But with Cena in the ring, you can always count on the 16-time to bring juice to the arena, but this time, it was after the match. After winning his match, Knight met Cena at the entrance ramp but started arguing with Cena. Instead of anything drastic, Cena did the same thing he did for Cody Rhodes and endorsed another fan-favorite.

This moment will go down in the history of LA Knight’s true rise to the top.

These fan reactions only show that people are ready to see a dissension between them for a feud of a lifetime.
