Seth Rollins Heaps Praise Onto John Cena: “A Great Career, A Better Friend, Better Performer”

Rollins speaks highly of Cena.

Seth Rollins is out of action due to undergoing shoulder surgery. While sidelined, Rollins remains the co-host of Good Morning Football on NFL Network.

One of the fan questions sent in for Rollins was whether he would rather have Mick Foley or John Cena as a tag team partner. Rollins spoke highly of both and focused on Cena’s retirement tour nearing its end. He stated that he loves Cena.

“John Cena is on his retirement run right now. Recently just won the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his career this past Monday on RAW, beating ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio. He’s a Grand Slam Champion. He’s got two appearances left in his WWE career, Madison Square Garden coming up, and then Washington D.C., for Saturday Night’s Main Event in his final match. John is a great friend. He is one of the greatest to ever do it. You can stack him against The Rock, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan — any of the Mount Rushmores, John Cena is on them. He’s a great human being. He’s been a mentor to me… John, hats off to you. A great career, a better friend, better performer. You’re the best, dude. I love you…”
