A former WWE star has praised Dominik Mysterio as a potential candidate to be the “next John Cena” following Cena’s retirement.
Cena is now under a month away from his final WWE match, which takes place on December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event against the winner of the Last Time Is Now tournament.
In an interview with All Axxess Entertainment, David Otunga, who briefly held the WWE World Tag Team Championship alongside Cena in 2010, was asked who he sees as a potential ‘next John Cena’ on the current roster.
He replied:
“I don’t think there’s ever gonna be another John Cena. I just don’t think that’s gonna happen. I think the wrestling business has changed, and I don’t know if there’s ever gonna be one main person again.
“You never know if it’s just one person, but I feel like there’s gonna be multiple people, and that’s just the way it’s heading. That’s how I feel.
“But I feel like Dominik Mysterio, he’s a good one. Bron Breakker too I could see.
“I remember when (Dominik) started. I remember him coming backstage and he was doing the dark matches and stuff, which was cool.
“I remember telling him that, because I worked with Rey. And seeing Dom all these years and then now. That’s my co-worker’s kid – that was really cool.
“And then seeing just how quickly he’s flown up the card, and well deserved too. I’m extremely proud of him.”
