John Cena has lauded Brock Lesnar, a former WWE champion, for his extraordinary success. Cena’s profound respect and recognition of Lesnar’s importance to WWE were clear signs of his appreciation for the latter. After Lesnar’s dominating performance in the Royal Rumble fight, Cena gave him high marks.

Despite Brock Lesnar’s interest in other promotions, like the UFC and NJPW, he has a deep history with WWE. When Lesnar returned to WWE, he was just as aggressive as ever. According to John Cena, there’s no debate about Lesnar’s validity, and he feels the Beast deserves greater respect as one of the best in WWE, even if he’s often underrated.

John Cena, who is one of the highest paid stars in the WWE, honored several Superstars and reflected on several classic bouts in a recent WWE video. He has said that Brock Lesnar is “extremely underrated.” Lesnar has had a spectacular WWE stint, including numerous WWE Championship reigns, WrestleMania headliners where he was even once almost killed, feuds with top wrestlers, and ending The Undertaker’s unbeaten record. 

The 16-time-champion has spoken highly of Lesnar, calling him “underrated” and “one of the best to ever step foot in a wrestling ring” after their historic encounters, which Cena characterized as “intense as hell.”

In the interview, he said, “I love Brock. As a performer, he’s extremely underrated, even though he’s in that conversation of the greatest of all time. I love him as a human being.”
