AEW World Tag Team Champion Max Caster has revealed that WWE legend John Cena occasionally reaches out to speak to him.
Caster, who performs as one half of the Acclaimed with tag team partner Anthony Bowens, often opens the duo’s matches by rapping in a way that is sometimes reminiscent of the Doctor of Thuganomics.
Speaking on The AJ Awesome Show, Caster revealed that the esteemed Doctor sometimes reaches out to encourage him:
“John Cena is a huge inspiration. I’ve never met him, but he reaches out to me from time to time.
“He’s been very, very nice, and for my hero as a teenager to reach out to me and, in the midst of people saying, ‘Oh, you’re a Cena rip-off, you’re just doing something that’s old, we don’t want to see this in wrestling now,’ for him to reach out and say, ‘You’re doing it the right way,’ sometimes he says I do it better than he did, it’s his opinion.
“I don’t know if I wanna agree with that, but I believe in myself, 100%, and his confidence in me only boosts me up. I don’t know if he knows how much that means, but it means a lot. So he’s my inspiration back then and now still.”
