Famous for his inspirational speeches and words of wisdom, both inside and outside the wrestling ring, John Cena is a wrestling legend and a symbol of humility. In the context of a heartwarming interview, he took the opportunity to offer a few profound pearls of wisdom to the interviewer, who happened to be preparing for his wrestling debut.
During an interview with ComicBook.com, interviewer Brandon Davis mentioned to Cena that he was about to start training to become a wrestler. He asked what advice the former rapper would give before his first match, using the knowledge Cena had gained throughout his career. And believe us, the words of the 16-time world champion were very positive.
Not only did Cena react to Davis’ WWE debut, but Dave Bautista also showed a touching act of kindness toward Davis in a separate interview that will live on in the hearts of his fans.
John Cena’s Sweet Advice to an Interviewer Ahead of His Wrestling Debut
John Cena’s words of encouragement to an interviewer who announced his impending wrestling debut have gone viral on social media. Notwithstanding his somewhat uneventful career debut, the former is undoubtedly one of the greatest WWE stars of all time.
In an interview with ComicBook, the interviewer, Brandon Davis, mentioned that he was about to start training to become a wrestler. He then asked Cena what advice he would give before his first match, using the knowledge the latter had gained over the course of his career.
Cena advised him to take it easy on the fans and use caution. It was a touching moment when he used the opportunity to offer some sage advice to the interviewer as the latter prepared for his professional wrestling debut:
“Entertain the audience. Don’t work for yourself and work safe. The goal is to be able to do 200 times a year for 20 years. So just be safe and give yourself to the audience and know your audience.”
The last time Cena faced off for the WWE was at the Crown Jewel tournament in Saudi Arabia in November, where he was soundly defeated by Solo Sikoa.

Meanwhile, in a separate interview with Comic Book’s Brandon Davis, Dave Bautista appeared equally generous with the interviewer after learning about the former’s WWE debut match. Bautista not only made the interviewer feel comfortable, but he also showed genuine interest in finding out more about his “first match” in the WWE.
By complimenting Davis on his “incredible” WWE career start, he showed why Bautista is more than just a wrestling icon but also a true role model for many aspiring industry performers. The question of why we love him and John Cena so much is raised by their uncommon acts of kindness and compassion. The answer lies in how they have consistently broken the stereotype of egotistical and self-centered wrestling performers, which fans are well aware of.
Let us look at some of the fans’ tweets:

I love the fact that both Cena and Batista are so excited for the guy and are so encouraging, considering when they are getting into the industry they likely got a much colder reception…

These two giants of the ring have shown time and again that strength can be gauged not only through physical dominance but also by acts of kindness, humility, and genuine care for others.
Their recent act of kindness towards the interviewer and Cena’s heartfelt advice ahead of Davis’ wrestling debut perfectly exemplify why we love these two icons so much. As fans, we are extremely fortunate to have these genuine, caring role models around us.
