In the tape, Rico announced his teammate John Cena as a native Californian man who is a perfect physical specimen. The entire WWE Universe was stunned with John Cena’s wrestling abilities. When WWE officials were asked about Rico’s performance, they said, “Yeah Rico was good, did you see Cena? This Cena guy? You gotta watch this reaction.”
WWE officials were quick to notice that John Cena has the ability to outperform veterans. They wasted no time in bringing him to the world’s largest wrestling promotion. John Cena made his WWE debut in 2002 and went straight after Olympic gold medallist Kurt Angle. To everyone’s surprise, John Cena managed to defeat Kurt Angle in his very first fight. After that, Cena never looked backed and went on to become one of the greatest WWE wrestlers of all time. He is eyeing a massive return at SmackDown on February 28.
