Theory has addressed the speculated potential match with John Cena that has been making the rounds.
Since his rise in WWE, Theory has received a lot of comparisons to Cena, which Cena himself “I wanted him [Vince McMahon] to know that this was never a second choice for me. This was always the only thing. Nothing against college or stuff like that, you can do that at anytime.
\"For me, I never had a plan B. It was this or nothing. I was so heavy believing in myself at a very young age that, when these guys are at parties in high school, I’m in the gym and I’m training.
\"I finish a job in a warehouse, working 8pm to 8am, I’m tired as hell, but I have to get up and workout because if I don’t, I’m gonna fall off. I’m gonna keep pushing until the next day. It’s that mentality and those little things. Everything that happens in life, happens for a reason. The build up of all these huge moments that have been happening.
\"Could this be the big build-up to get me ready for someone like John Cena? I’m gonna be honest, there are a lot of huge attractions, but I don’t think it gets any bigger than John Cena. Whether you’re a fan or not, you can’t deny his work ethic and what he’s done for WWE.
\"To me, being in that position where I could possibly be the face, just thinking of how much work there is, it’s insane. My hats off to that. It takes a hell of a human, a man, an anomaly, somebody who can pull that off. It’s insane.
\"I feel like my brain will go crazy if I try to think of all this stuff to get there. If I just enjoy every moment and give it my best, it should be a good ride. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, but I definitely keep my head on straight and keep moving forward.\"
WWE seems to be very high on Theory, so a clash with Cena certainly seems like it\'s within the realm of possibilities. Theory has been paired up with Vince McMahon on television, which is a very good sign.
He was also featured in a high-profile match at this year\'s WrestleMania 38 event with Pat McAfee, which included a segment with WWE Hall Of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin, whom he took a stunner from.
Currently, Theory reigns as the United States Champion, a title Cena helped legitimize during his rise to superstardom, and is in the midst of a feud with former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley on Monday Night RAW.
