John Cena shocked the world at WWE Elimination Chamber, turning heel and aligning with The Rock.
The moment was decades in the making as Cena was the hero and ultimate good guy during his entire run as the face of WWE.
The majority of the wrestling world was watching, including one of the top names from AEW.
"John Cena is a good friend of mine. I get really annoyed when people in either company pretend that they don't....let me put it this way. Yes, I was watching it. I was watching it live. It was an awesome moment and everybody should think it was an awesome moment because it was. Point blank. End of discussion," MJF said on the SI Media podcast with Jimmy Traina.
MJF continued, "If you are in the world of professional wrestling. If you are a top guy and you don't watch or consume as much pro wrestling as you possibly can, can you call yourself a student of the game? Can you say you're putting your best foot forward? Can you claim to be one of the best in the sport? In my opinion, no, you absolutely cannot. If you were to ask a WWE star, 'Have you been watching AEW?' and they say no, one of two things is happening. One, they are lying through their fucking teeth or two, they don't care enough about this industry to study what's going on in it. I was in my beautiful home, on Long Island, and I watched Elimination Chamber. I can assure you there will be plenty of WWE wrestlers who will be watching Revolution. If you're a real athlete and you aren't in the clue or in the know of what's going on in your sport, I pity you. I think you do not take your job seriously. Yeah, [Cena turning heel] was awesome. It was fucking awesome. We'll have plenty of cool moments on March 9."
MJF is set to face Hangman Page at AEW Revolution.
