Austin Theory says he wants to defend the United States title against John Cena

Last month, John Cena responded to a birthday message on Twitter from United States Champion Austin Theory. Cena wrote the following…

“Everyone understands that you have far more talent, strength, and gifts than I ever had. Don’t apologize for that. Ever. An apology should come 20 years from now if you fail to provide the EFFORT needed to turn your potential into your legacy. I hope that day never comes. 🥃”

During an appearance on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast, Theory talked about receiving praise from Cena…

“It’s just wild. That’s who got me into WWE. At first, I wasn’t crazy about sports entertainment. But I think I was just attached to that character, John Cena, and how it motivated me. Now to see that come to light and interact with me where I’m at in my career, it’s just amazing, especially what he did say on Twitter. I just thought that it was very interesting, but at the same time very motivating. So I’m very grateful for that. You know, it’s WWE. We never know what could happen. I feel like we do have a feeling what could happen pretty soon though. I ultimately want to defend the United States Championship against John Cena.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
