This is not the first time a star from AEW has lauded Cena. AEW star Miro also praised the 16-time Champion when he appeared on The Kurt Angle Show. He said:

“John is the best. John is absolutely the best. I learned so much from him even to this day. Once again, he’s such a teacher. He’s so good and he’s one of those guys, ‘What’s your four best moves?’ That’s what I learned from him that I utilize to this day. He asks you that not because — He just wants to highlight you in the best spots, in the best lighting.”

The one and only in-ring encounter between Cena and Kazarian

Although Kazarian had a very brief stint with WWE, he faced John Cena once in the squared circle at Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) in 2003. In one of the rare matches, Kazarian defeated Cena by disqualification. Since then, the two legends have never crossed paths with each other. 

After leaving the WWE company, Kazarian succeeded in TNA and Ring of Honor (ROH). In ROH, he has won the ROH World Tag Team Champion three times and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion once.

As for John Cena, since the 45-year-old legend has made the leap to Hollywood, he has become a part-time WWE star.
