during the interviewQ1043 New YorkThe Miz criticized Cena’s handling of the tournament, rallying behind fans who called The Champ out for a lack of information when the John Cena Classic was initially announced.
“Okay. What is it? Because I would love to win it. I beat (Cena) at WrestleMania, so why can’t I win this classic? he asked.
The Miz then claimed it was something he actually said to Cena’s face backstage before detailing the relationship he now has with his rival-turned-friend.
“I ask him a lot of questions and a lot of advice,” he said. “If you’ve ever sat down with John Cena, or ever had the chance to sit down with John Cena, he’s one of the most informative people out there. If you have a question, he’s got a great answer.”
The veteran then claimed that this is nothing new, and in the past Cena often gave him advice on his matches as soon as he left the ring, which allowed him to become a huge WWE Superstar. The Miz also praised Cena’s efforts in Hollywood, claiming his friend was the latest former wrestler to pave the way for their peers to enter acting.
