Reigning WWE United States Champion Austin Theory had a conversation with NBC Chicago on a variety of topics such as how 16-time World Champion and WWE legend John Cena was his motivation and inspiration to be a WWE Superstar.
Austin Theory said:
“John Cena’s dream came true getting to step in the ring with Austin Theory. Sure, at eight years old, he was my motivation and inspiration to be a WWE superstar, but when I got here, I was like, ‘Man, I’m too good at this.’ I’m the greatest United States Champion.”
Austin Theory also talked about how his victory over 16-time World Champion John Cena at WrestleMania 39 was a full circle moment.
Austin Theory said:
“To have that opportunity and moment, just pausing time, and being in the ring with John Cena, somebody that, I remember seeing a poster when I was leaving a wrestling show and it had John Cena on it, advertising Raw. I was like, ‘Man, who is that?’ I remember watching the next week and I wouldn’t stop watching every single Monday and it was John Cena that inspired me. That full circle moment at WrestleMania and beating him, it’s pretty surreal.”
