Following this week's episode of SmackDown Live (which saw Becky Lynch tear into John Cena before she threw him out of the ring and refused a handshake), the leader of the Cenation was asked for his thoughts on the Irish Lass Kicker and had nothing but good things to say about "The Man."
"She believes that she’s The Man. It’s not a character. It’s Becky Lynch. That’s something that I can relate to. When I stand tall in a WWE ring, people know they get the best of me. When Becky Lynch came out there, and not only staked her claim, but said ‘Listen, if I have to go through you to get it, I’ll get it done.’ I looked into her eyes and I know she meant it. That’s very rare. I hope the other WWE Superstars, regardless of gender, are paying attention to the attitude of Becky Lynch. Sometimes, you gotta announce your presence with authority."
"I know how tough it is to be overlooked. I know how tough it is to try to do your best every night and not get noticed. Finally, for something to happen inside of you to feel comfortable and confident. When you get that confidence, you feel like Superman. When I go out there, I tell everybody that this is the Superman outfit. It’s good to see someone step up and come eyeball-to-eyeball with me and be like, ‘Hey, if this is what we gotta do, we gotta do it.’ I was honored to be on her team tonight because that’s not an attitude I’ve seen in the ring for a long time."
That's high praise indeed and it's fair to say that there are a lot of Superstars in WWE who could do with rejuvenating their characters the way Lynch did last year. Love him or hate him, Cena knows his stuff and what he's saying here should definitely be taken note of. What do you guys think?
