In a recent interview with Us Weekly at the L.A. premiere of Netflix’s Receiver, WWE superstar Baron Corbin discussed how he formed a friendship with John Cena over the years, how Cena became a mentor in a sense and much more.

“We live 10 minutes from each other, I work out at his gym, I would see him on a weekly basis before he was doing all the Hollywood stuff.

When I would get frustrated, he became a mentor in a sense, he would say let’s go to dinner, let’s eat steak and burnt Brussels sprouts, have some wine and we’ll talk through this and figure it out. That’s why John Cena is who he is.”

Cena made a surprise appearance during Saturday’s WWE Money in the Bank Premium Live Event and revealed that he will be calling time on his in-ring career in 2025.
