John Cena Showers WWE Star With Praise: "More Talent, Strength & Gifts Than I Ever Had!"
If this WWE star doesn't live up to their potential, John Cena will be demanding an apology...
WWE legend John Cena put up-and-comer Theory over huge on Twitter yesterday, though his compliments came with a caveat.
Their interactions started when Theory tagged Cena in a tweet claiming that he was a better United States Champion than the era-defining megastar ever was:-
Happy Birthday @JohnCena! Sorry I’m a better U.S Champ than you… pic.twitter.com/SWw8HgYD69

In response, Cena quote-tweeted that while Theory has "far more talent, strength, and gifts" than he ever did, the 24-year-old would be due to apologise if he hadn't put in the effort to cement his legacy within 20 years:-
Everyone understands that you have far more talent, strength, and gifts than I ever had. Don’t apologize for that. Ever. An apology should come 20 years from now if you fail to provide the EFFORT needed to turn your potential into your legacy. I hope that day never comes. ? https://t.co/3apKiTwgDw

Following up, Theory condescended his forebearer, thanking him for being a fan:-
Thanks for always being a fan, @JohnCena. I’ve got an action figure of mine with your name on it! #HustleLoyaltyRespect https://t.co/rnGSUeDpow

Interestingly, these interactions came just an hour after a report broke stating that Vince McMahon sees traces of John Cena in Theory. The WWE Chairman and CEO is to give his hand-picked protege every chance of success, which isn't surprising, given the duo have been tethered together onscreen for much of 2022.
Theory claimed the United States Championship (his first belt in WWE) on last week's episode of Raw. Defeating Finn Balor, he was joined by a group of undercard heels for an in-ring celebration before Vince himself joined him on the ramp, posing for a selfie.
