John Cena thinks Brock Lesnar is underrated, despite being in the conversation for the greatest superstars of all time.
Since returning to WWE in 2012, Brock Lesnar has continued to build his legacy more and more. In recent years, Lesnar has headlined countless premium live events, won the WWE Championship, the Universal Championship, and has ended The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
In a new YouTube video for WWE, John Cena broke down some of his biggest matches throughout his career, including the one against Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012.
Cena recalled Lesnar giving him some decent hits during the bout before going on to praise him for being a giving and gracious performer. Cena also noted that he believes Lesnar is underrated, despite being in the conversation for the greatest stars of all time.
“Every one of those [elbows] are pretty decent hits [laughs]. Brock is one of a kind, he truly is. I love watching him. I always tell you that I watch the people. It’s really difficult to ignore Brock. You’re in a fight for your life, but he’s also the most giving, gracious performer. He gives it all, and there’s no way for you to question his legitimacy. There’s a ringside sign that says “legitimacy has returned.’ That says it all when it comes to him. I love Brock. We a performer, he’s extremely underrated, even though he’s in that conversation of the greatest of all time. I love him as a human being. He is wholeheartedly himself, and he shoots you straight. At least you know where you stand with him at all times, and I really admire that about him. He’s been wonderful to me over the years. Another person that we kind of matriculated together, and we both have our different paths to success, and we’re both rooting for each other constantly.”
Elsewhere in the video, Cena said that he always enjoyed performing with Bray Wyatt. Fans can learn more here.
