So the whole totality of the thing is I knew he was going to be there. And I don't think the old me would have associated with him just because of how maybe WWE I was. I still am WWE, but there is room for competition and competition is great. And just because you don't wear the company brand I have doesn't mean you're a bad performer.
Sports entertainment's a finicky business. And again, there's a lot of chance to make moments. So this is one of their top performers for AEW and I don't know if I'm going to be the target of a moment. I'm just going to support my friend [Zac Efron] in a movie. [MJF] couldn't have been nicer. He couldn't have been more cordial. And we meet each other and I got pulled away to take some pictures. And then we were about to go do everything else before I even got to you. And I was like, hold on, give me two minutes. I shook his hand. I said, 'Man, I'm so sorry. Excuse my ignorance, I didn't know what to expect from you today. You are a class act, I can't believe you're as professional as you are. That's just my ignorance. I'm sorry I had that judgment, I want to thank you for being so special, thanks for making my night.'
And then we got back and I was able to talk to him more. And I kind of [said] maybe we can get you to play for the right team one day and all that. There's no denying the fact that he's doing good work. And I don't think that I should ignore that. Honestly, I was floored by his professionalism, where it would have been an easy target at a wrestling movie premiere to have yourself a moment. And we did have a moment. And it was one that the internet paid attention to. And it was one where I was hoping that this person that I met, I could once bet on like, 'Man, I hope we just get you over here. That'd be awesome.' But it was great. It was great to meet a professional, classy, driven young man.
fuck off Cena.
