In a recent interview with Us Weekly at the L.A. premiere of Netflix’s Receiver, WWE superstar Bianca Belair discussed the advice that she received from John Cena at a time when she needed it the most.

“The biggest gem he ever gave me was after SummerSlam in 2021 when I lost in 26 seconds, I had just main evented WrestleMania, I won a title, I was on a huge roll, had all this momentum, and then lost in 26 seconds. I was so defeated.

He pulled me aside and really spoke life into me, he told me about the ins and outs of the business and how to go from the bottom to the top. You saw him do that over and over in his career, he was always reinventing himself.”

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.
