In commemoration of John Cena’s 20th anniversary coming up later this month, WWE superstars recently sat down to reveal some of the best advice that the legend has given them throughout their career.
One of the superstars that participated in the video was Cody Rhodes. During the end of his AEW run, Cody was receiving mixed crowd reactions that he had not necessarily been used to.
Cody said, “Best advice John Cena ever gave me was twofold. The first thing was rather recently, I was going through a polarizing time in my career. We were getting, for the first time ever, ‘Let’s go Cody, Cody sucks’ type thing. He very eloquently told me to be honest with myself as to why a crowd would react that way. Look in the mirror and if you feel you’re doing the right thing, keep doing it.”
Continuing on, Rhodes said “The second piece of advice is if the crowd starts making any noise, in any capacity, start clapping their hands, start stomping their feet. If they want you to fight back, something, anything, you have to reward them. You have to give them something whether it’s just coming to your feet, or whether it’s just showing the intent that fits there has to be something.”
