John Cena has given some praise to one WWE NXT star.
The former WWE champion recently took part in a Q&A session at MegaCon in Orlando where he talked about various topics. During this appearance, a fan asked Cena if he would rather face NXT stars Adam Cole, Velveteen Dream or Ricochet in a match.
Cena revealed that he would rather face Velveteen Dream and explained why while giving the exciting wrestling prospect some high praise. Here is what he had to say (transcript courtesy of IWNerd):
“I would rather face Velveteen Dream. You know how in the Star Wars movies the old Jedis can look at the rookie Jedis and be like, ‘I think that’s the one.’ I kinda have a weird, odd midichlorian feeling about Velveteen Dream. I think there’s something special there.”
