John Cena knows what it is like to be on the verge of release before everything clicks, and he used that perspective to highlight Chelsea Green as a performer who embodies the mentality required to survive and thrive in WWE.
Speaking to The Undertaker and Michelle McCool on Six Feet Under, Cena drew on his own early career experience to make the point. Cena made a memorable debut against Kurt Angle but was lost in the shuffle shortly after and, by his own account, was nearly released before reinventing himself as the Doctor of Thuganomics. That character became the launching pad for a decade at the top of the company.
The lesson he took from that experience is one he sees Green applying in real time.
“There are performers like Chelsea Green, who is a great example, of taking an inch and making it a mile, and not being afraid to commit to what is right for business,” Cena said.
The Undertaker has also publicly declared his support for Green, making her something of a favorite among WWE’s most respected legends.
Cena is set to host both nights of WrestleMania 42, which takes place April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
